(b) Horse-post	(i) Uluq
(c) Budaun Darwaza	(iv) Greatest Darwaza of Delhi
(d) Foot-Post	(iii) Dawa

Explanation:

Ibn Battuta’s account of Delhi stated that there were twenty eight gates of this city which are called darwaza, and of these, the Budaun darwaza is the greatest; inside the Mandwi darwaza there is a grain market; adjacent to the Gul darwaza there is an orchard.

This is how Ibn Battuta describes the postal system: In India the postal system is of two kinds. The horsepost, called uluq, is run by royal horses stationed at a distance of every four miles. The foot-post has three stations per mile; it is called dawa, that is one-third of a mile ... Now, at every third of a mile there is a wellpopulated village, outside which are three pavilions in which sit men with girded loins ready to start. Each of them carries a rod, two cubits in length, with copper bells at the top.
