Muhammad bin Tughluq, Sultan of the Delhi sultanate, moved his capital from Delhi to which of the following places?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Daulatabad.

 

Muhammad bin Tughluq shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad. 

He moved his capital in 1327, believing it would give him better control over the Deccan region and provide greater security from Mongol attacks. However, the move was largely unsuccessful due to logistical challenges and the harsh conditions in Daulatabad, forcing him to eventually move the capital back to Delhi.
