Consider the following statements :I.In the finals of the 45th Chess Olympiad held in 2024, Gukesh Dommaraju became the world's youngest winner after defeating the Russian player Jan NepomniachtchiII.Abhimanyu Mishra, an American chess player, holds the record of becoming world's youngest ever Grandmaster.Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. A

   I only

   I only. The 45th Chess Olympiad (Budapest 2024) is a team event. Gukesh did not become ‘world’s youngest winner’ by beating Nepomniachtchi in that final. Nepomniachtchi is the Candidates/world-championship opponent in a different file.

2. B

   II only

   II only. Abhimanyu Mishra (USA) became the youngest GM, 2021.

3. C

   Both I and II

   Both. I fails.

4. D

   Neither I nor II

   Neither. II holds.

Summary. Official key is (b) II only. Abhimanyu Mishra is the youngest grandmaster. Gukesh’s 2024 story is the Candidates/world-championship file, not a Chess Olympiad final against Nepomniachtchi. (a) is the Gukesh trap; (c) both.
