With Anuj Shrivatri earning the title, the number of chess Grandmasters in India has reached which figure?
- A.50
- B.75
- C.100
- D.125
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 100. Anuj Shrivatri's Grandmaster title took India's tally to a round hundred, and the achievement was welcomed as a century in chess for the country, a remarkable milestone that points to the depth of talent among Indian players and the way the game has caught on with the youth. Option A, 50, is incorrect because the count of 50 lies well short of the figure announced for this milestone. Option B, 75, is wrong for the same reason, as 75 is not the number tied to the century that was celebrated. Option D, 125, is incorrect because no such figure was announced; 125 would be past the hundred mark that Anuj Shrivatri's title completed. Aspirants should carry the figure 100 and the player's name together, because questions on this milestone are usually set as a pair.
