Question:

Tipu Sultan died fighting with the English forces under which of the following governor general?

Options:

Lord Wellesley

Lord Dalhousie

Lord Cornwallis

Lord Hastings

Correct Answer:

Lord Wellesley

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- Lord Wellesley

Tipu Sultan died fighting the English forces under the leadership of Lord Wellesley in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799.

The other governors-general you listed, Lord Dalhousie, Lord Cornwallis, and Lord Hastings, were also important figures in British India, but they were not the governors-general under whom Tipu Sultan died.

  • Lord Dalhousie was the governor-general of India from 1848 to 1856.
  • Lord Cornwallis was the governor-general of India from 1786 to 1793 and again from 1798 to 1805.
  • Lord Hastings was the governor-general of India from 1813 to 1823.
