    The answer for the first question is wrong... and sadly I lost an answer in the IIFT exam 'coz of this... the Games' initial name was British Commonwealth Games..later it was changed in 1954 to British Empire and Commonwealth. And later morphed into what it is now....
    hope none else lost theirs' coz of this ...
    *sigh* :(
