Q. Consider the following:

1. Alivardi Khan
2. Siraj-ud-Daulah
3. Mir Jafar

Which of the above held the position of Nawab of Bengal during the mid-18th century?
Answer: 1, 2 and 3
Notes: Alivardi Khan was Nawab of Bengal from 1740 to 1756. His grandson, Siraj-ud-Daulah, succeeded him in 1756 and ruled until 1757. Mir Jafar became Nawab after the Battle of Plassey in 1757, with British support. Thus, all three were Nawabs of Bengal during the mid-18th century, making all statements correct.
