Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept: In a statement-based item offering ‘Only I’, ‘Only II’, ‘Both’, or ‘Neither’, each numbered statement must be checked independently against the factual record; the correct option is the one that reproduces the true/false pattern of the individual statements exactly.

Application: Statement I claims India won a badminton medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics — P. V. Sindhu won the silver medal in women's singles badminton. Statement II claims India won a wrestling medal at the same Games — Sakshi Malik won the bronze medal in women's freestyle 58 kg wrestling. Checked against the official Rio 2016 results, both statements hold true independently.

  • ‘Only I’ would require wrestling to have produced no medal that year — it does not, since Sakshi Malik's bronze is part of the same Games' tally.

  • ‘Only II’ would require badminton to have produced no medal that year — it does not, since P. V. Sindhu's silver is part of the same tally.

  • ‘Neither I nor II’ would require both events to be absent from India's medal list — they are not; both are documented Rio 2016 medals.

Cross-check: India's full Rio 2016 medal tally was exactly two medals — one silver (badminton) and one bronze (wrestling) — with no other event contributing, which independently confirms both statements hold simultaneously.
