Consider the following statements in respect of the first Kho Kho World Cup: I. The event was held in Delhi, India. II. Indian men beat Nepal with a score of 78-40 in the final to become the World Champion in men category. III. Indian women beat Nepal with a score of 54-36 in the final to become the World Champion in women category. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation
The correct option is "I only" because, while the first Kho Kho World Cup was indeed held in Delhi, the outcomes described in statements II and III are inaccurate. Specifically, the Indian men did win the tournament, but not against Nepal, and the correct scores and opponents for both the men's and women's categories differ from those stated. This emphasizes the significance of verifying facts in sports events, which aligns with the UPSC focus on analytical skills and critical evaluation of information relevant to national pride and cultural events.
