Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The Nizam of Hyderabad

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The British, the Marathas, and the Nizam of Hyderabad were annoyed by the popularity of Mysuru's Hyder Ali. The British realised that if they were to expand in India, it would have to be without any interference from the local leaders. Thus, they devised a plan and entered into an agreement with the Marathas and the Nizam, and formed a Tri-party alliance against Hyder Ali.
