How many competitors are there in India's contingent at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026?
- A.14
- B.63
- C.70
- D.84
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 70. India's competitor contingent at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 has 70 members. Option A is wrong, though the number is genuine in another sense: 14 is the count of young women in that contingent, which is more than a fifth of the whole squad. Option B is wrong for a similar reason, because 63 is the number of skills in which India is competing rather than the number of people competing. Option D matches nothing in the announcement at all. This question is a good example of why a candidate should tag every number with the thing it counts: competitors 70, skills 63, women 14, edition 48. Confusing any two of them is the commonest way to lose a mark on an item like this.
