In which city did the Commonwealth Games 2026 take place?
The Commonwealth Games 2026 were held in Glasgow, Scotland — a notable event for the city's sports infrastructure and international profile.
Consider the following statements regarding Commonwealth Games: 1. The Commonwealth Games were held in Glasgow in 2024. 2. Gulveer won a Gold medal in the Men's 10,000m event at the Commonwealth Games. 3. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi congratulated Gulveer on winning the Silver medal. How many of the above statements are correct?
Statement 1 is incorrect because the fact list states that the Commonwealth Games 2026 took place in Glasgow. Statement 2 is also incorrect because the fact list states that Gulveer won a Silver medal, not a Gold medal.
Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi congratulated Gulveer on winning the Silver medal. Statement-II: Gulveer won a Silver medal in the Men's 10,000m event at the Commonwealth Games 2026. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Statement 2 is a correct causal explanation of why Statement 1 is true because it directly states that Gulveer won the Silver medal, which is the reason for Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's congratulatory message.
