Solution

The correct option is A Poornaiah
In 1799 CE, after the division of the Mysuru state, the only remaining heir of the Wodeyars was a five-year-old boy, Krishnaraja Wodeyar III. Thus, Poornaiah was appointed as the Diwan of Mysuru. He had worked in the administration of Hyder Ali and Tippu Sultan.
