Which of the statements given below are correct regarding the books A Foreign Policy For India Wings of Fire and the autobiography Open?

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: 2 and 3

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This multiple statement question again tests detailed knowledge of books and authors, focusing on works related to foreign policy and autobiographies of notable personalities. The titles involved are A Foreign Policy For India, Wings of Fire and Open. To answer correctly, candidates must know the right author for each title and then determine which combined statements reflect the truth.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Statement 1 says that the author of A Foreign Policy For India is L K Advani.
  • Statement 2 says that Wings of Fire is a book written by A P J Abdul Kalam.
  • Statement 3 says that Open is an autobiography of tennis player Andre Agassi.
  • Answer choices give different combinations of the three statements.



Concept / Approach:
The concept is verifying authorship and subject for each book:

  • Who wrote A Foreign Policy For India.
  • Who wrote Wings of Fire.
  • Whose autobiography Open is.
After verifying, we must determine which statements are correct and then select the option that lists exactly those. The question demands accurate recall plus logical elimination of incorrect combinations.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: First check Statement 2. Wings of Fire is a well known autobiography of A P J Abdul Kalam, often co authored with Arun Tiwari. Therefore Statement 2 is correct. Step 2: Now check Statement 3. Open is indeed an autobiography of Andre Agassi, the famous tennis player, describing his life and career. So Statement 3 is also correct. Step 3: Next, check Statement 1. A Foreign Policy For India is not written by L K Advani. It is associated with another statesman, and hence this statement is incorrect. Step 4: Summarise findings. Statement 1 is false, Statements 2 and 3 are true. Step 5: Look at the answer options. The combination that includes only Statements 2 and 3 is option b. Step 6: Therefore, the correct answer is 2 and 3.



Verification / Alternative check:
To verify:

  • Standard references attribute Wings of Fire to A P J Abdul Kalam, describing his journey from a small town boy to a leading scientist and President of India.
  • Open is always described as the autobiography of Andre Agassi and is widely reviewed in sports and literary media.
  • A Foreign Policy For India is often linked to other leaders in Indian foreign policy and not to L K Advani, confirming that Statement 1 is false.
Checking multiple independent sources confirms our evaluation of all three statements.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
1 and 2: This combination treats the wrong Statement 1 as correct, so it cannot be chosen.
1 and 3: Again includes the incorrect Statement 1 along with a correct one, so it is not the right mix.
1 2 and 3: Assumes all three statements are correct, but we know Statement 1 is false.



Common Pitfalls:
A typical mistake is to assume that L K Advani wrote many books and to accept Statement 1 without checking. Another pitfall is to be unsure whether Open refers to a magazine or a book and to hesitate about Andre Agassi. Remembering a few famous autobiographies clearly, such as Wings of Fire for A P J Abdul Kalam and Open for Andre Agassi, helps avoid confusion in such multi statement questions.



Final Answer:
Only Statements 2 and 3 are correct, so the right choice is 2 and 3.
