Category: Miscellaneous Indian Gk

Hint: Consider the historical accuracy of Muhammad Ghori's lineage and the legal provisions of the MWP

Correct Answer: D) Only 2, 3.

Exam Relevance: UPSC, SSC, Banking Exams, State PSC

Difficulty: Moderate

Explanations:

The question involves evaluating the accuracy of three statements related to historical and legal contexts. The first statement claims that Muhammad Ghori had sons. This is a historical claim that needs to be verified. Muhammad Ghori, also known as Muhammad of Ghor, was a prominent ruler of the Ghurid Empire in the 12th century. Historical records indicate that he did not have any sons. Therefore, the first statement is false.

The second statement asserts that the tomb of Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq was built by the Tughlaq Dynasty. This is a historical fact that can be verified. Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq was the founder of the Tughlaq Dynasty, which ruled parts of the Indian subcontinent in the 14th century. The tomb of Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, located in Tughlaqabad, Delhi, was indeed built by the Tughlaq Dynasty. Therefore, the second statement is true.

The third statement concerns the MWP Act, which stands for the Maternity and Women's Pension Act. This act is a legal framework that governs various provisions related to maternity benefits and women's pensions. The statement specifically mentions that Section 6 of the MWP Act covers life insurance plans. This is a legal provision that needs to be verified. Section 6 of the MWP Act indeed covers life insurance plans, making the third statement true.

Given the analysis of the statements, the correct option is D, which includes the second and third statements as true. The first statement is false, and therefore, any option that includes it is incorrect. The second and third statements are true, and they are correctly identified in option D.

Option Analysis:
  • Option A: This option is incorrect because it includes the first statement, which is false. Muhammad Ghori did not have any sons. The second statement is true, as the tomb of Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq was indeed built by the Tughlaq Dynasty.
  • Option B: This option is incorrect because it includes the first statement, which is false. Muhammad Ghori did not have any sons. The third statement is true, as Section 6 of the MWP Act covers life insurance plans.
  • Option C: This option is incorrect because it includes the first statement, which is false. Muhammad Ghori did not have any sons. The second and third statements are true, but the inclusion of the first false statement makes this option incorrect.
  • Option D: This option is correct. The second statement is true, as the tomb of Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq was built by the Tughlaq Dynasty. The third statement is also true, as Section 6 of the MWP Act covers life insurance plans.
