Read the below statements regarding Aman Sehrawat's performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics: Statement I: Aman Sehrawat won the bronze medal in the Men's 57kg freestyle wrestling event by defeating Darian Cruz of Puerto Rico. Statement II: With this win, at the age of 21 years and 24 days, he surpassed PV Sindhu to become India's youngest-ever individual Olympic medalist. Which of the following is correct?
Both statements I and II are correct
The question gives two statements about Aman Sehrawat at the Paris 2024 Olympics and asks which are correct, so each must be checked separately.
Statement I says he won the bronze medal in the men's 57 kg freestyle wrestling event by defeating Darian Cruz of Puerto Rico; this is accurate, as he won the bronze-medal bout convincingly against Cruz.
Statement II says that with this win, at 21 years and 24 days, he surpassed PV Sindhu to become India's youngest-ever individual Olympic medalist.
That claim is also correct: his age at the medal moment was younger than Sindhu was when she won her badminton medal, so he took over the record for India's youngest individual Olympic medallist.
Since the medal event, the opponent, the age and the record in the two statements all match the actual facts, neither statement can be rejected.
The options claiming only one statement is correct, or that neither is correct, therefore do not hold.
Hence the correct choice is Both statements I and II are correct.
