Who conveyed the congratulations to India's mixed 4x400m relay team after its silver-medal run, in a message shared on the platform X?

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.

The correct answer is four athletes, two men and two women. The name of the discipline itself carries the answer: the figure before the multiplication sign gives the number of runners and the figure after it gives the lap each of them covers, so a mixed 4x400m relay is run by four athletes who each complete a lap of 400 metres. The word mixed tells us the four are split evenly between men and women, and each team may choose the order in which they are sent out. Option A is wrong because two runners would make the event a relay in name only and would not match the four in the title of the discipline. Option B is wrong both on the count and on the balance, since an odd number cannot be split evenly between men and women. Option D is wrong because six runners belong to no standard relay format on an athletics programme. India's silver-winning team at the Asian Games was accordingly a group of four, namely Manu TS, Poovamma MR, Vishal TK and Vithya Ramraj.

The correct answer is that the men's badminton team won a bronze medal. The Prime Minister congratulated the squad and said the medal reflects the passion and hard work of the players, adding that the entire team displayed great spirit through the competition and wishing them well for the events still ahead. Option B is wrong because the colour of the medal was bronze and not silver. Option C is wrong because the message named the men's team, and no women's team gold was announced in these releases. Option D is wrong because the mixed team format was not the one mentioned in the badminton congratulation. Note that the other two medals of the day, Seema in the women's 10,000m and the skeet mixed team pair, were also bronze, so the colour is common to all three.

The correct answer is the women's 10,000m. Seema finished third in this long distance track race, and the Prime Minister said her determined performance had brought India a medal in the event after many years, describing it as a wonderful achievement reflecting endurance, discipline and years of hard work. Option A is wrong because the marathon is run on the road rather than on the track and is a different event altogether. Option C is wrong because the steeplechase involves barriers and a water jump and was not the race in question. Option D is wrong because the shorter middle distance race is a separate discipline and no such medal was announced. Aspirants should remember the athlete, the event and the colour of the medal together, since questions often pair a name with the wrong distance.

The correct answer is the skeet mixed team event. The Prime Minister congratulated Parinaaz Dhaliwal and Anantjeet Singh Naruka on the bronze and said their achievement marks the first ever Indian medal in this event at the Asian Games, adding that he hoped the success would inspire many more milestones. Option A is wrong because trap, though also a shotgun discipline, is a separate event with a different target release pattern. Option B is wrong because the air rifle mixed team belongs to the rifle group of events and was not the one named. Option D is wrong because the air pistol mixed team is again a distinct event. The phrase to carry into the examination hall is first ever medal in the skeet mixed team, linked with these two names.
