Which combination of statements about Sebastian Vettel in Formula One, Grigor Dimitrov in tennis, and Nitin Tomar in Pro Kabaddi League in 2017 is correct?

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Statements A and B are correct

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This question links three different sports in the year 2017: Formula One motor racing, tennis, and the Pro Kabaddi League in India. It presents statements about Sebastian Vettel, Grigor Dimitrov, and Nitin Tomar and asks which combination of statements is correct. Such questions are designed to test wide ranging sports knowledge and your ability to cross check details across different disciplines.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Statement A: In 2017, Sebastian Vettel raced in Formula One for Ferrari.
  • Statement B: Grigor Dimitrov won the tennis 2017 Cincinnati Masters mens singles title.
  • Statement C: In the 2017 Pro Kabaddi League, Nitin Tomar played for Jaipur Pink Panthers.
  • We must decide which statements are accurate and select the corresponding option.


Concept / Approach:
We evaluate each statement based on known sports history. In 2017, Sebastian Vettel was indeed a Ferrari driver in Formula One, so statement A is true. Grigor Dimitrov won the mens singles title at the 2017 Cincinnati Masters, his first ATP Masters 1000 title, so statement B is true. Nitin Tomar, however, played for UP Yoddha in the 2017 Pro Kabaddi League, not for Jaipur Pink Panthers, which makes statement C false. Therefore, the correct combination is that A and B are correct, but C is not, matching option a.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Check statement A: Sebastian Vettel drove for Scuderia Ferrari in Formula One around 2017, confirming A as true. 2. Check statement B: In tennis, the 2017 Cincinnati Masters mens singles champion was Grigor Dimitrov, confirming B as true. 3. Check statement C: Nitin Tomar was associated with UP Yoddha in the 2017 Pro Kabaddi League season, not Jaipur Pink Panthers, so C is false. 4. Since A and B are true and C is false, the correct option must indicate “Statements A and B are correct”. 5. Among the answer choices, that description corresponds to option a.


Verification / Alternative check:
To verify, recall images of Sebastian Vettel in a red Ferrari car, heavily featured in Formula One coverage of that era. News about the 2017 Cincinnati Masters highlighted Dimitrov winning the title, boosting his ranking. For kabaddi, you can remember that Jaipur Pink Panthers had different star raiders, while UP Yoddha built their brand around Nitin Tomar during that period. These details align with our evaluation of the statements.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Statements A and C are correct: Wrong because C is not correct, although A is. Statements B and C are correct: Wrong because C is false even though B is true. None of the statements is correct: Wrong because A and B are both factually accurate.


Common Pitfalls:
Students sometimes misremember kabaddi franchises and may wrongly associate Nitin Tomar with Jaipur Pink Panthers. Another pitfall is to doubt Grigor Dimitrov's Cincinnati win, as this was his breakthrough at Masters 1000 level and is less famous than Grand Slam victories. It is important to connect each athlete with specific years and teams or tournaments, not just their general reputation.


Final Answer:
The correct evaluation is that statements A and B are correct, while statement C is incorrect.
