History

The Peacock Throne was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah in the early 18th century. It is famously associated with him rather than Shah Jahan or the other listed emperors.

Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakr married the daughter of Sultan Iltutmish, a prominent ruler of the Delhi Sultanate. This historical fact is well-documented, making option C correct.

Akbar, the Mughal Emperor, was born in the city of Kabul in 1542. Therefore, option B is correct. The other options are incorrect birthplaces.

Dina Wadia's mother was Emibai, the first wife of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Therefore, option A is correct.

Akbar was the Mughal emperor who built the Agra Fort. He started its construction in 1565 and it served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors until 1638.

Tipu Sultan sought assistance from the French government to resist British expansion in India. He corresponded with the French to form alliances against the British East India Company.

Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan became the Chief Minister (Premier) of Punjab after the 1936-37 elections under the Government of India Act 1935. He led the Unionist Party and was a prominent political figure in Punjab during that period.

Theodore Beck was the first Principal of M.A.O College in Aligarh, appointed in 1883. Henry Siddons was a later principal, but not the first. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan founded the college but was not its principal, and Lord Elgin was a British Viceroy unrelated to the principalship.

The Second Battle of Panipat (1556) was fought between the Mughal forces led by the young emperor Akbar and his regent Bairam Khan, and the army of the Hindu king Hemchandra Vikramaditya (commonly known as Hemu). Hemu had captured Delhi and Agra and declared himself king. The battle ended in a decisive Mughal victory after Hemu was wounded and captured. The other options are historically inaccurate for this battle: Humayun and Sher Shah Suri were not involved as both were deceased by then; Ahmad Shah Abdali fought in the Third Battle of Panipat (1761); Ibrahim Lodhi was defeated in the First Battle of Panipat (1526). Option D, although misspelling Hemu as 'Himochandra', correctly identifies Akbar and Hemu as the leaders in the Second Battle of Panipat.

Amir Khusro was a famous scholar and poet who was patronized by Sultan Alauddin Khilji, a ruler of the Delhi Sultanate. This is a well-documented historical fact.
