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.
