Q. With reference to Tipu Sultan, which of the following statements is incorrect?

1. He sent missions to Afghanistan, Arabia and Turkey to forge an anti- British alliance.
2. He entered into negotiations for an alliance with Revolutionary France.

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

• A.
  1 only
• B.
  2 only
• C.
  Both 1 and 2
• D.
  Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:

• Statement 1 and 2 are correct: Wellesley dealt with Mysore, Carnatic, Tanjore, and Surat more sternly. Tipu of Mysore would, of course, never agree to a Subsidiary Treaty. On the contrary, he had never reconciled himself to the loss of half of his territory in the Third Anglo–Mysore War (1790–1792). He worked incessantly to strengthen his forces for the inevitable struggle with the British. He entered into negotiations for an alliance with Revolutionary France. He sent missions to Afghanistan, Arabia and Turkey to forge an anti- British alliance.
