Options:

1244

1240

1238

1236

Correct Answer:

1240

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- 1240

Razia Sultan was removed from the throne of the Delhi Sultanate in 1240.

She was the first and only woman ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, and she ascended to the throne in 1236 after the death of her father, Iltutmish. Razia was a capable and intelligent ruler, but she faced opposition from the conservative nobles, who were not comfortable with the idea of a woman on the throne.

In 1240, Razia was defeated by a rebel army led by her brother, Rukn-ud-din Firuz. She was imprisoned and later killed.

Razia's reign was short-lived, but she remains an important figure in Indian history. She was a courageous and visionary ruler who challenged traditional gender roles.
