(ii) He could plunder Surat in 1664.
(iii) He could withstand the attacks of Shaista Khan and Mirza Raja Jai Singh.

Which of the above statements are not correct. Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Codes :
Answer: D
The statements that are not correct are (iii) and (iv), option (D). Shivaji could not withstand the Mughal attack under Jai Singh: by the Treaty of Purandar in 1665 he gave up twenty-three forts. Bijapur and Golconda were annexed by Aurangzeb in 1686 and 1687, years after Shivaji's death in 1680, so they were not annexed to weaken him. Statement (i), that he could check the Deccan powers from entering his swaraj, and (ii), that he plundered Surat in 1664, are correct. So (A), (B) and (C) include a correct statement.
