Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this problem, we need to arrange the given battles in chronological order of their occurrence. Let's examine each of these battles:

1. Battle of the Hydaspes (326 BCE): This battle was fought between Alexander the Great and King Porus in what is now Punjab, Pakistan.
2. First Battle of Tarain (1191 CE): This battle took place between Prithviraj Chauhan and Muhammad Ghori near present-day Thanesar, Haryana, India.
3. Battle of Khanwa (1527 CE): This battle was fought near Fatehpur Sikri between Babur and Rana Sanga.
4. Battle of Talikota (1565 CE): This battle marked the fall of the Vijayanagara Empire, fought against the Deccan Sultanates.
5. Battle of Buxar (1764 CE): This battle involved the British East India Company against the combined armies of the Mughal Emperor, the Nawab of Oudh, and the Nawab of Bengal.

Arranging them in order of occurrence, we get:

1. Battle of the Hydaspes (326 BCE)
2. First Battle of Tarain (1191 CE)
3. Battle of Khanwa (1527 CE)
4. Battle of Talikota (1565 CE)
5. Battle of Buxar (1764 CE)

Therefore, the correct order is: (a)-(b)-(c)-(d)-(e). Thus, the correct answer is (a)-(b)-(c)-(d)-(e).
