Answer 1

Answer:

B. Tughluq dynasty

• Khalji Dynasty was founded by Jalal-ud-din Khalji who ruled from 1290 to 1296

• Jalaluddin Khilji (1290-1296)

• Alauddin Khilji (1296-1316)

• Alauddin was the first Muslim ruler to extend his Empire up to the extreme south of the Indian subcontinent.

• The Khalji dynasty was succeeded by the Tughluq dynasty.

• Muhammad Bin Tughluq was an important ruler of this dynasty. He shifted the capital from Delhi to Devagiri (renamed it as Daulatabad). Later he found that shifting the capital was not practical and withdrew the decision.

• The rulers of the Sayyid and the Lodi dynasties who succeeded the Tughluq dynasty were weak. The Sultanate rule began to decline with the end of the Tughluq dynasty
