Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru won a medal at the Asian Games in which event?

The correct answer is Prince Noble and Manu Francis. The two of them finished second in the Men’s Skiff event at the Asian Games 2026 and took the silver medal, and the Prime Minister congratulated them on a result he said was built on skill and determination, adding that they had bettered their previous performances to reach the podium this time. Option B is wrong because Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru did not sail in the skiff at all; his medal came in archery’s compound section. Option C is wrong for the same reason, as it moves the compound archer into the sailing crew in place of Manu Francis. Option D is wrong because it replaces Prince Noble with a name that has nothing to do with this medal. Remember that the skiff is crewed by two athletes, so the silver is always quoted with both names together.

The correct answer is that the skiff brought silver and the compound individual brought bronze. Prince Noble and Manu Francis stood second in the Men’s Skiff for the silver, while Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru won the Men’s Compound Individual bronze medal match. Option A is wrong because neither result was a gold; one was a silver and the other a bronze. Option C is wrong because it swaps the colours, a trap that appears often when two medals from the same day are put in one question, so the colour must be tied to the event and not merely remembered as a pair. Option D is wrong because only the compound result was an individual one; the skiff silver was won by a crew of two sailors, which is why it is always reported with two names.

The correct answer is the Asian Games 2026. That is the event at which the Indian women's squash side finished on the podium with a bronze medal and for which the Prime Minister sent his congratulations to the players. Option A is wrong because the Commonwealth Games is a separate multi-sport competition held among countries of the Commonwealth, and the medal under discussion did not come from it. Option B is wrong because the Olympic Games is a global event on a four-year cycle and was not the competition involved here. Option D is wrong because the Youth Olympic Games is meant for junior age-group athletes, not for a senior national team of this kind. Examiners often swap one multi-sport event for another in the options, so the name and the year of the Games should be memorised along with the medal.

The correct answer is Bronze. The Indian women's team in squash finished third in its event at the Games and so took the bronze medal, a result the Prime Minister described as a richly deserved place on the podium while congratulating the players for a spirited effort and for the resolve they showed. Option A is wrong because the team did not finish first; a gold would have meant topping the event. Option B is wrong because silver goes to the runner-up, and that was not the position the Indian side finished in. Option D is wrong because a fourth place would have left the team off the podium altogether, whereas the whole point of the congratulations was that the players had secured a podium place. For examinations, the pairing to remember is the women's squash team with the bronze medal at these Games.

The correct answer is squash. The bronze was won by the Indian Women's Squash Team, and while congratulating them the Prime Minister added a remark about the game itself, saying the success would motivate young people towards squash and that the sport is becoming popular in India. Options A, C and D name three other racquet and stick sports in which Indian women's teams regularly compete at continental level, which is precisely what makes them convincing distractors; a candidate who recalls only that an Indian women's team reached the podium may pick any of them. None of them, however, is the sport in which this particular medal was won. The safest way to hold such facts is to learn the three parts together: the team, the sport and the colour of the medal.
