Each building of the Delhi Sultanate is matched with the ruler or noble who built it.
(A) Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque — this matches (III) Qutub-ud-din-Aibak. Aibak, the first Sultan of the Slave (Mamluk) dynasty, began this mosque in Delhi in the 1190s, the first mosque built by the Sultans, next to which he also began the Qutb Minar.
(B) Alai Darwaja — this matches (I) Ala-ud-din-Khilji. Alauddin Khalji built this gateway to the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque in 1311; it has the first true arch and true dome in India.
(C) Tughlaqabad Fort — this matches (II) Ghiyas-ud-din-Tughlaq. The founder of the Tughlaq dynasty built this massive stone fort and city in Delhi in the early 1320s.
(D) Moti ki Masjid — this matches (IV) Prime Minister of Sikandar Lodi. The mosque, known as the Moth ki Masjid in South Delhi, was built around 1505 by Miyan Bhuwa, the wazir (prime minister) of Sikandar Lodi.
