• D. (d), (a), (c), (e), (b)

Hint:

Court/Field Size Order: Badminton $<$ Tennis $<$ Basketball $<$ Handball $<$ Football

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Find the dimensions of a Badminton court.
A standard doubles badminton court measures: \[ 13.4 \text{ m} \times 6.1 \text{ m} \] Area: \[ = 81.74 \text{ m}^2 \] Thus, badminton has the smallest playing area among the given games.

Step 2: Find the dimensions of a Tennis court.
A standard doubles tennis court measures: \[ 23.77 \text{ m} \times 10.97 \text{ m} \] Area: \[ \approx 261 \text{ m}^2 \] Hence tennis court is larger than badminton court.

Step 3: Find the dimensions of a Basketball court.
A standard basketball court measures: \[ 28 \text{ m} \times 15 \text{ m} \] Area: \[ = 420 \text{ m}^2 \] Therefore basketball court is larger than tennis court.

Step 4: Find the dimensions of a Handball court.
A standard handball court measures: \[ 40 \text{ m} \times 20 \text{ m} \] Area: \[ = 800 \text{ m}^2 \] Hence handball court is larger than basketball court.

Step 5: Find the dimensions of a Football field.
A football field is much larger, approximately: \[ 105 \text{ m} \times 68 \text{ m} \] Area: \[ = 7140 \text{ m}^2 \] Thus football has the largest playing area.

Step 6: Arrange from smallest to largest.
\[ \text{Badminton} < \text{Tennis} < \text{Basketball} < \text{Handball} < \text{Football} \] Therefore, \[ (e), (d), (a), (c), (b) \] \[ {\text{Option (A)}} \]
