MH SET 2023 Paper 2 Computer Science and Applications Question Paper (26-Mar-2023)
The correct answer is

Faster, higher, stronger

The Olympic motto ‘Citius, Altius, Fortius’ is Latin and was proposed by the Dominican priest Henri Didon and adopted by Pierre de Coubertin for the IOC in 1894; it was officially introduced at the 1924 Paris Olympics.

In Latin, ‘Citius’ means faster, ‘Altius’ means higher and ‘Fortius’ means stronger. In 2021 the IOC added ‘Communiter’ (together), making it ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together’.

The other renderings such as ‘Swift, tall, fortified’ or ‘Swiftest, highest, fastest’ are not translations of the comparative Latin words.

Hence, the motto means Faster, higher, stronger.
