Asian Games 2026: India Take Men’s 4x400m Relay Bronze

The correct answer is bronze. The Indian quartet of Dharmveer Chaudhary, Manu TS, Jay Kumar and Vishal TK finished on the podium in third place in the men’s 4x400m relay, and the Prime Minister congratulated them on the bronze, praising the timing they clocked. Options A and B are wrong because the team did not finish first or second; upgrading a bronze to a higher medal is the single commonest mistake candidates make when a congratulatory message praises the performance warmly. Option D is wrong because a fourth place would not have been a podium finish at all, and the result was described as a fitting podium place. For revision, pair the medal colour with the event and the four names, because an examiner will usually ask for all three together. So C is correct.

The correct answer is Dharmveer Chaudhary. The relay bronze was won by a team of four: Dharmveer Chaudhary, Manu TS, Jay Kumar and Vishal TK. Options B and C name athletes who are not part of this relay quartet, and option D names another athlete entirely; in a Games where India collects medals across several disciplines on the same day, the names move easily from one event to another in a candidate’s memory, which is exactly what this question tests. The safest way to revise is to keep the discipline and the names together: a relay medal always carries four names because each runner covers one lap of 400 metres, while an individual event carries one. Remember also that the medal here is bronze, not silver. Hence A is the right choice.

The correct answer is four. The name of the event itself gives it away: in a 4x400m relay, four runners each cover one lap of 400 metres and pass the baton on to the next. That is why India’s bronze at the Asian Games is credited to four athletes together, namely Dharmveer Chaudhary, Manu TS, Jay Kumar and Vishal TK, and why the Prime Minister described the result as a spirited team effort rather than an individual achievement. Options A, B and D do not match the structure of the event; a team of two belongs to events such as sailing pairs, and no standard track relay is run by three or six athletes in this format. Keeping the arithmetic of the event name in mind is the quickest way to answer such a question, so C is correct.
