Question:
What is the correct chronological sequence in which Mughal Emperors ruled?
Options:
Akbar, Jahangir, Shahjahan, Aurangzeb
Akbar, Jahangir, Aurangzeb, Shahjahan,
Akbar, Aurangzeb, Jahangir, Shahjahan,
Jahangir, Akbar, Shahjahan, Aurangzeb
Correct Answer:
Akbar, Jahangir, Shahjahan, Aurangzeb
Explanation:
Akbar had three fairly able successors in Jahangir (1605-27), Shah Jahan (1628-58) and Aurangzeb (1658-1707), much as their characters varied. Under them the territorial expansion continued, though at a much reduced pace. The three rulers maintained and consolidated the various instruments of governance.
