Solution

The correct option is A Only 1
Amir Khusrau was a great Sufi poet, musician and scholar in the Indian Subcontinent. He was a mystic and a disciple of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya of Delhi. He is widely regarded as the 'Father of Qawwali' music tradition and introduced ghazal style of songs in India. But the Hindustani classical music was not found by him. So only statement 1 is true.
