The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Mughals and Marathas.
- The Treaty of Purandar was signed on June 11, 1665 between Jai Singh I (commander of the Mughal empire) and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (chhatrapati of Maratha empire).
- Shivaji was forced to sign the agreement after Jai Singh beseiged Purandar fort.
