Q. Which of the following Mughal emperor captured Bijapur? Answer:
Aurangzeb
Notes: After Ali Adil Shah II's death in 1672, four-year-old Sikandar Adil Shah ascended, weakening Bijapur. Aurangzeb annexed Bijapur in 1686, ending the Adil Shahi dynasty after nearly 200 years. Internal strife and noble betrayal aided his conquest. Aurangzeb's Deccan campaigns strained Mughal resources, contributing to the empire's decline.
