Q. Consider the following:

1. Imad Shahi
2. Nizam Shahi
3. Bahmani Sultanate

Which of the following is the correct chronological order of these dynasties based on their establishment?
Answer: 3 1 2
Notes: The Bahmani Sultanate was established first in 1347, marking the beginning of Deccan Muslim rule. Following its decline, the Imad Shahi dynasty was founded in 1490, and the Nizam Shahi dynasty was established shortly after in 1490 as well, but it officially became prominent in the years that followed. Thus, the correct chronological order is Bahmani Sultanate (3) first, followed by Imad Shahi (1), and then Nizam Shahi (2). Thus, the correct order is 3 1 2.
