💡 Analysis & Explanation
Subject ▼
General Knowledge.
Context ▼
National Sports Awards.
Details ▼
Pair 1 is correctly matched; the Khel Ratna recognizes outstanding performance over the previous four years. Pair 2 is incorrectly matched; the Arjuna Award recognizes good performance over the previous four years, while 'lifetime achievement' falls under the separate Dhyan Chand Award for Lifetime Achievement. Pair 3 is correctly matched; Dronacharya is strictly for coaches. Pair 4 is incorrectly matched; Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Puraskar is awarded to corporate entities and boards promoting sports, not to retired sportspersons. Two pairs are correct.
