Arrange the above Grand Slam in the order of their occurrence in a calendar year:

• A. iv, iii, ii, i
• B. iii, ii, iv, i
• C. i, ii, iv, iii
• D. i, iv, ii, iii
• E. ii, iii, iv, i

Hint:

Remember: The tennis Grand Slams follow the order — Australian (Jan), French (May–Jun), Wimbledon (Jun–Jul), and US Open (Aug–Sep).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the calendar sequence of Grand Slam tournaments.
There are four tennis Grand Slam tournaments held annually in the following order: - Australian Open: January (first Grand Slam of the year, played on hard courts in Melbourne).
- French Open (Roland Garros): May--June (second Grand Slam, played on clay courts in Paris).
- Wimbledon: June--July (third Grand Slam, played on grass courts in London).
- US Open: August--September (fourth Grand Slam, played on hard courts in New York).
Step 2: Match with given options.
Thus, the correct chronological order is: i. Australian Open \(\Rightarrow\) ii. French Open \(\Rightarrow\) iv. Wimbledon \(\Rightarrow\) iii. US Open.
Step 3: Verify options.
- (A) Wrong sequence.
- (B) Incorrect (US Open is last, not first).
- (C) Correct order.
- (D) Wrong (French Open comes before Wimbledon, not after).
- (E) Wrong (French Open does not start the year).
