Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1930

The correct answer is 1930.

• The first Commonwealth Games were held in Hamilton in 1930.

• The vibrant city of New Delhi hosted the Commonwealth Games in October 2010. This was the first time India has hosted the Games and only the second time the event has been held in Asia (Kuala Lumpur in 1998 was the first).
