Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 1526.

  • The Mughal Empire was conventionally said to have been founded in 1526 by Babur, who employed military aid in the form of matchlock guns and cast cannons from the Ottoman Empire, and his superior strategy and calvary to defeat the Sultan of Delhi, Ibrahim Lodhi, in the First battle of Panipat.
  • This imperial structure lasted until 1720, shortly after the death of the last major emperor, Aurangzeb.
