Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Iltutmish.
- The Turkan-i-Chahalgani and Chalisa(The Fourty), was a group of 40 faithful slaves that came into existence with the task of protecting Shamsuddin Iltutmish, the third slave sultan of Delhi sultanate.
- The idea to form the group was taken by him when he came to realise that Turkish nobles cannot be trusted and could be a threat to his rule.
