Question

Complete the analogy by choosing the option that best fits.
Pitch : Cricket :: Ring : ?

• A. Wrestling
• B. Boxing
• C. Badminton
• D. Tennis

Hint:

Think about which sport is played inside a roped square platform called a ring.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This analogy is about the playing area used for a sport. A "pitch" is the specific strip or ground on which cricket is played, so we need the sport whose playing area is called a "ring".

1. Wrestling: Wrestling is contested on a mat or within a circle, but the term commonly used for its arena is a mat, not a ring, so this is close but not the standard term.
2. Boxing: A boxing match takes place inside a roped square platform that is universally called a "ring". This matches the pattern exactly, the same way "pitch" names the cricket ground.
3. Badminton: Badminton is played on a "court", not a ring, so this option breaks the pattern.
4. Tennis: Tennis is also played on a "court", so this does not match either.

Only boxing uses the word "ring" for its playing area in the same direct way that cricket uses "pitch" for its playing area.

Let's summarize:

• Pitch is the specific term for a cricket ground.
• Ring is the specific term for a boxing arena.
• Wrestling, badminton, and tennis use different names (mat or court) for their playing areas.

So the correct answer is "boxing", option (b).
