Who constructed a canal of 150 miles from Yamuna to Hissar for agricultural purpose?
Answer: B
The canal was built by Firoz Shah Tughlaq.
Firoz Shah Tughlaq (1351-1388) is remembered for public works: he dug a long canal from the Yamuna to Hisar, the town he founded, to irrigate the dry tracts of Haryana, and he levied an irrigation tax (haqq-i-sharb) on the land it watered. The canal was restored under the Mughals and later the British as the Western Yamuna Canal.
Qutb-ud-din Aibak founded the Slave dynasty and began the Qutb Minar. Khizr Khan founded the Sayyid dynasty, and Sikandar Lodi is remembered for founding Agra. None of them is credited with this canal.
