Answer 1

The correct option is D 1, 2 and 3

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Unlike Jalaluddin Khalji, Alauddin Khalji was an autocrat who sought to reduce the power of the nobility and the theologians. He introduced several limitations on the personal life of the nobles and limited the influence of the ulema in the court. He declared that the authority flowed from the emperor and not from the Shariat. In the economic sphere, he strengthened the market stability through state control of prices and creation of buffer stocks.
