Question

Name the company which has appointed Sushil Kumar as its Ambassador?

• A. MRF Tyres
• B. Ralson Tyres
• C. Goodyear
• D. Lego Group

Hint:

Think of an Indian tyre brand that used an Olympic wrestler's image around 2012.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This question is about a sports endorsement deal signed around 2012. Sushil Kumar is an Indian freestyle wrestler who won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics, along with a gold at the 2010 World Wrestling Championships. Let's check the companies listed.

1. MRF Tyres: MRF is a major Indian tyre maker known for sponsoring cricketers, most famously through its bat endorsement deals, but it was not the company that signed Sushil Kumar as an ambassador.
2. Ralson Tyres: Ralson, an Indian tyre manufacturer, signed Sushil Kumar as its brand ambassador around the time of his Olympic success, using his image of strength and endurance to promote its tyre brand.
3. Goodyear: Goodyear is an international tyre company, but it did not sign this particular endorsement with the wrestler, so it does not fit.
4. Lego Group: Lego makes toy building blocks for children and has no connection to tyre advertising or to a wrestler's endorsement, so it is clearly out of place here.

Of the four companies, only Ralson Tyres matches the actual sponsorship, since it used Sushil Kumar's Olympic medal winning image to market its products as strong and dependable.

Let's summarize:

• Sushil Kumar is a wrestler with an Olympic bronze in 2008 and silver in 2012.
• Ralson Tyres appointed him as brand ambassador, not MRF, Goodyear or Lego.

So the correct answer is option (b), Ralson Tyres.
