Question:

Prithviraj Chauhan and Muhammad Ghori fought the battle of ______.

Options:

Chausa

Chanderi

Tarain

Tallikota

Correct Answer:

Tarain

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3- Tarain

Prithviraj Chauhan and Muhammad Ghori fought the battle of Tarain twice. The first battle was fought in 1191, and the second battle was fought in 1192.

The first battle of Tarain was a decisive victory for the Rajputs, led by Prithviraj Chauhan. The Ghurid army, led by Muhammad Ghori, was routed and forced to retreat to Ghazni.

The second battle of Tarain was a decisive victory for the Ghurids, led by Muhammad Ghori. Prithviraj Chauhan was captured and executed, and the Chahamana dynasty was destroyed.

The battles of Tarain were a turning point in Indian history. They marked the beginning of Muslim rule in northern India and the end of the Rajput dominance in the region.

The battles of Chausa and Chanderi were fought between the Mughals and the Rajputs. The battle of Tallikota was fought between the Vijayanagara Empire and the Deccan Sultanates. None of these battles involved Prithviraj Chauhan and Muhammad Ghori.
