Q. Consider the following pairs: | Firoz Tughlaq | Established the diwan-i bandagan |
| Alauddin Khalji | First to set up karkhanas for production |
| Muhammad Tughlaq | Employed 500 workers in gold brocade |
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Answer:
Only two pairs
Notes: - Firoz Tughlaq: He did indeed establish the diwan-i bandagan, which was a department for managing slaves. This pair is correct.
- Alauddin Khalji: While he did have karkhanas, it was Firoz Tughlaq who is more noted for formally establishing them for production purposes. Thus, this pair is incorrect.
- Muhammad Tughlaq: He is recorded to have employed about 500 workers in gold brocade, which is accurate. This pair is correct.
Thus, only two pairs are correct.
