Solution

The correct option is A Minimise the expenditure of the army
Allauddin reduced and fixed the prices of the market commodity for the welfare of army.
  • He has to maintain a huge standing army and he was unwilling to raise the salary, therefore, he increased the power of tanka (money of his period) by regulation of the market and control the prices.
  • Mongol invasions also exerted a heavy burden on the treasury. Hence to overcome these problems he made regulations in the marketing system.
