Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A Nizam was defeated by Bajirao in Bhopal.

D Bajirao died in April 1740 at Raverkhedi.

Muhammad Shah felt threatened on account of Bajirao’s march towards Delhi. The Mughal emperor invited the Nizam of Hyderabad to protect Delhi but he failed poorly. Bajirao sent his brother Chimajiappa to subdue the Portuguese. He successfully conquered Thane and adjacent areas. Nadir Shah had fled before Bajirao reached Delhi.
