Mark the correct statement:
1. "Mughal rule began and ended at Panipat".
2. Marathas were defeated in the Third Battle of Panipat.
3. French rule began with Panipat.
4. French power ended with Panipat.
Answer: B
Only statement 2 is correct, so the answer is 2 is correct.
The Third Battle of Panipat in 1761, in which Ahmad Shah Abdali defeated the Marathas, is a well-known fact.
Statement 1 is only half true: Mughal rule began at Panipat with Babur's victory in 1526, but it did not end there; it ended in 1857, when the British deposed Bahadur Shah II. Statements 3 and 4 are false because French power in India was decided in the Carnatic Wars, ending with the battle of Wandiwash in 1760, not at Panipat. That rules out every option except the one naming statement 2 alone.
