Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Muhammad Bin Tughlaq.
The Sultan who shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad was Muhammad bin Tughlaq. He made this decision in the 14th century, aiming to strengthen his control over the southern part of his empire and to counter Mongol invasions. However, the move was poorly planned, and the people faced significant hardships during the transition. Eventually, the capital was shifted back to Delhi due to logistical challenges and the negative impact on the administration.
