Question:

Ain-i Akbari, a document on life of Mughal ruler Akbar does not contain information about ______.

Options:

Revenues

Ancestors

Army

Administration

Correct Answer:

Ancestors

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- Ancestors

The Ain-i Akbari does not contain information about Akbar's ancestors.

The Ain-i Akbari is a three-volume work written by Abul Fazl, one of Akbar's close friends and courtiers. It is a comprehensive account of Akbar's administration, household, army, the revenues and geography of his empire. It also provides details about the traditions and cultures of the people living in India. The most interesting aspect about Ain-i Akbari is its rich statistical details about things as diverse as crops, yields, prices, wages and revenues.

The first volume of the Ain-i Akbari is called the Kitab-i Iqlim and deals with the geography of Akbar's empire. The second volume is called the Kitab-i Jama' and deals with the administration of the empire, including the revenue system, the army, and the household. The third volume is called the Kitab-i Ayin and deals with the social and cultural aspects of Akbar's empire, including the religions, customs, and festivals of the people.

While the Ain-i Akbari does not contain information about Akbar's ancestors, it does provide a wealth of information about his life and reign. It is an important source of information for historians and scholars studying the Mughal Empire.
