hey @junoonmba

I also missed this point. The question you mentioned was Which state is the maximum medal taker in the 33rd National Games?

If we consider the total no of medals then Assam is the answer, but if we consider the highest number of gold medals then the answer is Manipur as quoted by you.

But I think the answer is Assam only!!!

What say puys???

Cheers!!!
Siddharth

Added Later:- I think that Services consists of the people from the Armed Forces.
