HPSC HCS 2024 · Question 56 of 100

Consider the following statements: 1. In 1676, Shivaji crowned himself formally at Rajgarh. 2. The Karnataka expedition was the last major expedition of Shivaji. 3. In 1678, Shivaji campaigned against Karnakata and forced Qutb Shah to pay a subsidy of one lakh huns. How many of the statements given above are correct?

History

  1. AOnly one statement is correct.Correct
  2. BOnly two statements are correct.
  3. CNone of the statements is correct.
  4. DAll three statements are correct.

Answer: A. Only one statement is correct.

Explanation

Shivaji was crowned at Raigad in 1674 (not Rajgarh in 1676), and his Karnataka expedition (1677-78) was his last major campaign. The 'one lakh huns' subsidy detail is incorrect, so only statement 2 is correct.
