The last of the years of the Delhi Sultanate were ruled by _________ and ___________.

• A. the Mughals and the Lodhis
• B. the Sayyids and the Tughlaqs
• C. the Sayyids and the Lodhis
• D. the Tughlaqs and the Lodhis

Answer 1

The correct option is C the Sayyids and the Lodhis

By the 15th Century, the territory of the Delhi Sultanate was reduced to provinces and was in turmoil. During its last years, it was ruled by two dynasties- the Sayyids and the Lodhis. Ibrahim Lodhi was the last ruler of the Delhi Sultanate. He was defeated by Babur in 1526 CE at the Battle of Panipat. Thus ended the reign of the Delhi sultans, giving rise to the Mughal empire.
