Fill in the blanks: At the 1960 Rome Olympics, Milkha Singh set an Indian record by finishing Fourth in the men's 400 metres with a timing of _________ a record that stood until 1984.
45.6 seconds
At the 1960 Rome Olympics 400 m final, Milkha Singh — the ‘Flying Sikh’ — finished fourth in a photo-finish, missing bronze by about 0.1 of a second. His official electronic timing of 45.6 seconds set a new Indian national record at the time. The record stood until 1984 (later editions of the record had it broken in the 1990s as well, but for the question's window the 1984 milestone applies).
Hence, the correct answer is 45.6 seconds.
