Who among the following was part of the Indian bronze-winning Men’s 4x400m Relay team at the Asian Games?

  1. A.Dharmveer Chaudhary
  2. B.Prince Noble
  3. C.Manu Francis
  4. D.Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru

Correct answer

A. Dharmveer Chaudhary

Explanation

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.

Q1.SportsEasy

Which medal did the Indian men’s 4x400m relay team win at the Asian Games?

  1. A.Gold
  2. B.Silver
  3. C.Bronze
  4. D.No medal, fourth place
Show answer

Correct answer: C. Bronze

Explanation

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.

Q2.SportsEasy

How many runners make up a team in the 4x400m relay event?

  1. A.Two
  2. B.Three
  3. C.Four
  4. D.Six
Show answer

Correct answer: C. Four

Explanation

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.

Q3.SportsMedium

Which statement about India’s two medals noted on 1 October at the Asian Games 2026 is correct?

  1. A.Both were gold medals
  2. B.The skiff brought silver and the compound individual brought bronze
  3. C.The skiff brought bronze and the compound individual brought silver
  4. D.Both medals were won in individual events
Show answer

Correct answer: B. The skiff brought silver and the compound individual brought bronze

Explanation

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.

Q4.SportsEasy

Which pair won the silver medal in the Men’s Skiff event at the Asian Games 2026?

  1. A.Prince Noble and Manu Francis
  2. B.Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru and Manu Francis
  3. C.Prince Noble and Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru
  4. D.Manu Francis and Smit Machchhar
Show answer

Correct answer: A. Prince Noble and Manu Francis

Explanation

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.

Q5.SportsMedium

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

  1. A.Men’s Skiff
  2. B.Men’s Compound Individual
  3. C.Men’s Recurve Team
  4. D.Men’s Compound Team
Show answer

Correct answer: B. Men’s Compound Individual

Explanation

The correct answer is Men’s Compound Individual. Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru came through the Men’s Compound Individual bronze medal match at the Asian Games, and the Prime Minister praised him for accuracy under pressure, for his composure and for an unyielding spirit, saying he had brought the country great credit. Option A is wrong because the Men’s Skiff silver on the same day went to Prince Noble and Manu Francis, a two-member crew, and not to this athlete. Option C is wrong because the medal was won in the compound section and not in the recurve section, and it was an individual result, not a team one. Option D is wrong on the same count: it was an individual event, so the medal is credited to one archer alone rather than to a team of three.
