  2. The treaty restored territories captured during the war back to their pre-war status.

Which of the statements given above is / are correct?

Answer: Only 1 and 2
Notes: After Hyder Ali's death in 1782, Tipu Sultan signed the Treaty of Mangalore with the British East India Company. The treaty, concluded in 1784, mandated both sides return all conquered territories, restoring the pre-war situation. Statement 3 is incorrect as the treaty was not signed in 1792; 1792 was the year of the Treaty of Seringapatam.
