Solution
The correct option is C
Both 1 and 2
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: Lord Wellesley was Governor General during the fourth Anglo Mysore war (1998-1799). The immediate cause for the war was that Tipu refused to sign the Subsidiary Alliance System.
Statement 2 is correct: First Anglo-Maratha War, did not end in victory for either side. But it did give the British 20 years of peace with the Marathas, the strongest Indian power of the day. The British utilized this period to consolidate their rule over the Bengal Presidency, while the Maratha chiefs frittered away their energy in bitter mutual squabbles. Moreover, the Treaty of Salbai enabled the British to exert pressure on Mysore as the Marathas promised to help them in recovering their territories from Haidar Ali.
