SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

Each lane is 1.22 to 1.25 meters wide, marked by 5 cm lines.

Per World Athletics (the IAAF) technical rules for synthetic tracks, each lane in races up to 400 m is between 1.22 m and 1.25 m wide (the standard is 1.22 m), and is marked by white lines 5 cm wide. The lane width is fixed and does not vary with the number of athletes; separate lanes are in fact mandatory for sprints and the one-lap 400 m race.

Hence the correct answer is (B) Each lane is 1.22 to 1.25 meters wide, marked by 5 cm lines.
