In competitive exams there will be one or two questions related to books and authors. You can expect any of the books or authors to be asked in any of the competitive exams like SSC, Bank PO, IB etc., Coming to civil service examination with the recent modification in the examination. The possibility of asking direct question like this is relatively low. However it is good to know in general.
