i. The first and second rounds were dominated by Neeraj Chopra with a gold medal performance in his second throw, while the other two athletes did not have any medal winning throws in these rounds.
ii. The throws in the last round by both Jakub Vadlejch and Vitezlav Vesely were fouls and were not considered for scoring.
iii. After four rounds, Vitezlav Vesely was in the second position and could not improve upon his best throw in the succeeding rounds.
iv. In the fourth round, the throw by Jakub Vadlejch was the best in that round.
In which round did Vitezlav Vesely have his best throw?
Correct : a
Working through the clues systematically to eliminate each round:
From clue i, Vitezlav had no medal-winning throws in rounds 1 and 2 — so his best throw could not have occurred in rounds 1 or 2.
From clue ii, both Jakub and Vitezlav fouled in round 6 — so round 6 does not count for Vitezlav''s best throw.
From clue iii, after four rounds Vitezlav was in 2nd place and could not improve in any succeeding round. This means his personal best was already set by the end of round 4. Since rounds 5 and 6 gave no improvement (round 6 was a foul, round 5 he couldn''t beat his existing best), his peak performance was established by round 4 at the latest.
From clue iv, Jakub''s throw in round 4 was the best throw of that round — meaning Jakub threw farther than Vitezlav in round 4 itself. However, after round 4 Vitezlav was still in 2nd place above Jakub. This means Vitezlav''s cumulative best from earlier rounds was good enough to keep him ahead of Jakub even after Jakub''s strong round 4 throw. So Vitezlav''s best overall throw — the one keeping him in 2nd — must have been set before round 4. Since rounds 1 and 2 are ruled out, the only remaining possibility is round 3.
