Q. Which of the following was the ruler of Golconda during the reign of Aurangzeb?
Answer: Abul Hasan Qutb Shah
Notes: Abul Hasan Qutb Shah, known as "Tana Shah," was the last ruler of the Qutb Shahi dynasty in Golconda during Aurangzeb's reign. His Shia faith and employment of Hindus in high positions drew Aurangzeb's grievances. Golconda's wealth from diamond mines, including the Kollur Mine, attracted Aurangzeb. The Mughal siege in 1687 resulted in Golconda's fall and the end of the Qutb Shahi dynasty.
