Solution

The correct option is D d) Muhammad Shah
Ans 30. D

Explanation: In 1738, Nadir Shah proceeded to invade India. The excuse for the invasion being that the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah had insulted the Persian envoy at the royal court of Delhi. He overran the western frontiers of Mughal Empire capturing Ghazni, Kabul and Lahore in 1739. When Nadir Shah crossed Khyber Pass the Governor of Punjab requested the Mughal Empire to reinforce the defences in Punjab, but the then Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah turned a deaf ear towards his genuine request
