Answer 1

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

The state of Hyderabad was founded by Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah in 1724 A.D., during the reign of Muhammad Shah Rangila, the 12th Mughal emperor (1719 A.D.-1748 A.D.). He waged wars, concluded peace, conferred titles and gave Jagirs and offices without reference to Delhi. He never openly declared his independence from the Central government but in practice he acted like an independent ruler.
