Question

The Diameter of Discus Throw circle in Track & field event is -

• A. 2.30 m
• B. 2.50 m
• C. 2.40 m
• D. 2.60 m

Hint:

Discus circle: 2.50 m. Shot put and hammer: 2.135 m.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall the throwing circles:
In athletics, the throwing events use circles of set size. The shot put and hammer circles are 2.135 m across. The discus circle is a little bigger because the thrower spins to build speed.

Step 2: Read off the value:
The discus circle diameter is 2.50 m, or 250 cm.

Step 3: Match with the options:
Only option 2 equals 2.50 m. The values 2.30 m, 2.40 m and 2.60 m are not used for any of these circles.

Final Answer:
The discus circle is 2.50 m wide, so option 2. \[\boxed{2.50\ \text{m}}\]
