The requirement is, I have to select 2 radio buttons with the value as “No”.  
When I identify the radio buttons, it’s detecting the below values as :  
input id = input value as false, class name as ‘x-from- field x-from-radio’ and type as button.

If with the above values, in Object repository values are passed, for the first object , the radio button is selected as ‘NO’ ---- Which I want

But, for the second radio button, too the same values are populating,  
I cannot use the same ObjectRepository to click the second object as it will click the first one.

Also, I feel I cannot consider XPath

Firstly, If they are ACTUAL radio controls, then their `type` should be `radio`: `type="radio"`. If their type is (as you say) `button` then they are not radios (even though the may _look like radios_).

As to your issue… try assigning your own CSS or XPath expressions to the objects in the OR. You can get the xpath expression from the browser devtools inspector when you right-click on the radio element.

If you show us your page might be able to use stuff around the inputs to help come up with an xpath.
