Solution

The correct option is D X- Persian, Y- Shah Jahan
Throughout Medieval India, Persian was the court language. Both the Sultanate and the Mughals promoted Persian. Many Sanskrit texts, including the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, were translated into Persian during Akbar’s reign. Dara Shukoh, the son of Shah Jahan, translated Upanishads and the Atharva Veda to Persian. This played a major role in cultural interchange.
