Reeta went to a museum and saw a picture of a ruler. "Born- 1793, Died- 1863" was written below the picture. When she enquired about him, her friend told her that he became the king of Afghanistan in 1826. The British felt, either he was hostile or was unable to resist a powerful neighbour's invasion, because he shared a cordial relationship with them. Who was the ruler?

The correct option is B Dost Mohammad Khan
Dost Mohammad Khan was the ruler of Afghanistan. He tried to keep a balance between the two significant powers, Russia and Britain. The British felt that the cordial relations of Dost Mohammad and Russia was dangerous for them. So they made Shah Shujah the king of Kabul. Shah Shujah was killed and the British troops were slaughtered. The British left in 1843 and Dost Mohammad regained his power.
