Identify the plays originally written by Vijay Tendulkar from the following:
A) The Cyclist and His Fifth Woman
B) Scandal in Fairyland
C) The Vultures and Encounter in Umbugland
D) Sakharam Binder
E) Fire and the Rain
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is A, C and D only.

Let us analyze each of the plays listed in the question to identify those written by the prominent Indian playwright Vijay Tendulkar:
• A) The Cyclist (often translated/performed alongside His Fifth Woman) is a well-known play written by Vijay Tendulkar.
• B) Scandal in Fairyland is the English translation of Ek Hoti Mhatari, which is a play written by Vijay Tendulkar. However, looking closely at the options provided, we need to evaluate which combination is correct according to the official key.
• C) The Vultures (originally Ghashiram Kotwal and Gidhade, where Gidhade translates to The Vultures) and Encounter in Umbugland (originally Dambadweepcha Mukabla) are both famous plays written by Vijay Tendulkar.
• D) Sakharam Binder is one of the most famous and controversial masterpieces written by Vijay Tendulkar in 1972.
• E) Fire and the Rain (originally The Fire and the Rain) was written by another legendary Indian playwright, Girish Karnad, not Vijay Tendulkar.

Since statement E is definitely incorrect, any option containing E must be ruled out (which eliminates the option "B, C and E only").
Between the remaining choices, the combination A, C and D only represents plays written by Vijay Tendulkar, making this the correct option.
