Explanation:

Statement 1: In Lilavati, solutions of quadratic, cubic and quartic indeterminate equations are explained. The rules he gives are (in effect) the same as those given by the Renaissance European mathematicians of the 17th century A cyclic Chakravala method for solving indeterminate equations of the form ax2 bx c = y was given by him. The solution to this equation was traditionally attributed to William Brouncker in 1657, though his method was more difficult than the chakravala method.
Statement 3: No such work has been produced by him.
