Explanation:
Stappoo is a popular game played in India. The game involves drawing boxes on the ground and then hopping or jumping into these boxes in a particular sequence. The objective is to complete the sequence without making any mistakes.
In this question, we are given four options and we need to identify the boxes where we can put two steps while playing stappoo. Let's look at each option one by one:
a) 4-5 and 7-8: This option specifies that we can put two steps in boxes 4-5 and 7-8. This is the correct answer as it is possible to put two steps in these boxes while playing stappoo.
b) 1-2 and 3-4: This option specifies that we can put two steps in boxes 1-2 and 3-4. However, this is not possible as we can only put one foot in each box while playing stappoo.
c) 3-4 and 5-6: This option specifies that we can put two steps in boxes 3-4 and 5-6. However, this is not possible as we can only put one foot in each box while playing stappoo.
d) 3-4 and 7-8: This option specifies that we can put two steps in boxes 3-4 and 7-8. However, this is not possible as these boxes are not adjacent to each other.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - 4-5 and 7-8.
