B1990

Correct Answer:  A. 1982
Explanation:

# Asian Games Hosting History in India

India has hosted the Asian Games twice in its history, and we need to identify the most recent occasion.

Step 1: Identify India's Asian Games Hosting Years

India hosted the Asian Games in two different cities during two separate decades. The first time was in Delhi during 1951 (the inaugural games), and the second time was also in Delhi in 1982. After 1982, India did not host the Asian Games again in the 20th century.

Step 2: Verify the Most Recent Hosting

Looking at the given options (1982, 1990, 1985, 2000), the year 1982 marks when India last hosted the Asian Games in New Delhi. The subsequent Asian Games were held in other Asian countries, and India's next hosting opportunity came much later in 2023 in Delhi again.

The correct answer is (A) 1982 — India last hosted the Asian Games in New Delhi during 1982.

Q.68 Hard Sports and Games
Which Indian athlete won the World Athletics Championships 2023 in the 400m race?
AAntonio Watson
BNeeraj Chopra
CMurali Sreeshankar
DAvinash Sable
Correct Answer:  A. Antonio Watson
Explanation:

# World Athletics Championships 2023 - 400m Winner

This question tests knowledge of recent international athletic achievements and medal winners.

Step 1: Identifying the Event

The World Athletics Championships 2023 took place in Budapest, Hungary, where athletes from across the globe competed in various track and field events including the 400-meter sprint.

Step 2: Analyzing the Options

- Antonio Watson is not a widely recognized Indian athlete

- Neeraj Chopra is famous for javelin throw, not 400m sprints

- Murali Sreeshankar specializes in long jump

- Avinash Sable is a steeplechase runner

Note: The correct answer provided (Antonio Watson) appears inconsistent with the premise that this should be an Indian athlete, as Watson is not typically recognized as an Indian competitor. Among the given Indian athletes, none won the 400m at World Championships 2023. The question contains an apparent discrepancy between the premise and answer provided.
