Q. Consider the following pairs regarding the Anglo-Maratha Wars and their outcomes:
  1. First Anglo-Maratha War → Treaty of Salbai (1782)
  2. Second Anglo-Maratha War → Treaty of Bassein (1802)
  3. Third Anglo-Maratha War → Defeat of Peshwa Baji Rao II
Which of the above pairs are correctly matched?

Answer: Only 1 and 3
Notes: Pair 1 is correct as the First Anglo-Maratha War ended with the Treaty of Salbai in 1782. Pair 2 is incorrect because the Treaty of Bassein (1802) led to the Second Anglo-Maratha War but was not its conclusion; the war ended with other treaties. Pair 3 is correct as the Third Anglo-Maratha War concluded with the defeat of Peshwa Baji Rao II.
