Which medal did India's mixed 4x400m relay team win at the Asian Games, as noted in the Prime Minister's message of 25 September 2026?
- A.Gold
- B.Silver
- C.Bronze
- D.The team finished fourth and missed the podium
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Silver. The Prime Minister's message congratulated Manu TS, Poovamma MR, Vishal TK and Vithya Ramraj specifically on taking the silver medal in the mixed 4x400m relay at the Asian Games, so option B is the one supported by the release. Option A, gold, is wrong because the team placed second rather than first in the final; the message speaks of a silver medal throughout and nowhere describes the run as a winning one. Option C, bronze, is wrong for the same reason, as bronze goes to the third team home and would not match the description given. Option D is wrong because a fourth place carries no medal at all, yet the whole point of the message was to mark a medal-winning run and to call it a proud moment for athletics in the country. Aspirants should tie the event, the medal colour and the four names together, since relay questions are usually set on exactly that combination.
