How many world records did the Indian contingent set at the Asian Para Games 2026?

  1. A.Three
  2. B.Five
  3. C.Nine
  4. D.Eleven

Correct answer

B. Five

Explanation

The correct answer is five. Along with its 114 medals, the Indian squad set five world records at the Asian Para Games 2026, and separately set nine Asian records. Option C is the trap, because nine is the number of Asian records, and also the number of gold medals the contingent won on the closing day of the Games; it is not the number of world records. Options A and D do not match either count. Among the record setters, Mona Agarwal set a world record in para shooting, Haney bettered a world record he had set himself, and Sandeep set a world record on his first appearance at the Games. Keeping the pair of numbers apart is the point of the question: five world records and nine Asian records, from a contingent in which 34 of 56 women and 36 of 61 debutants won medals.
