Read the below statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark the correct options: Assertion (A): In squash, the serve must hit the front wall between the service line and out line and land in the opposite half of the court beyond the half-court line for it to be legal. Reason (R): Players must alternate between service boxes after each successful serve to maintain fairness and court coverage during the match.
A is true, but R is false.
Assertion (A) is true. In squash a legal serve must be struck so that it hits the front wall above the service line and below the out line, and then (without touching the floor first) rebounds to land in the opposite back quarter of the court — beyond the short (half-court) line and on the side away from the server's service box.
Reason (R) is false. The server does not have to alternate service boxes after every serve. A server who wins a rally keeps serving and switches to the other service box only because the point was won; if the server loses the rally, the opponent takes over the serve. The choice of box follows who is serving and the score, not a fixed compulsory alternation after each successful serve.
Since A is true but R is false, the correct option is: A is true, but R is false.
