Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither 1 nor 2
Nimbarka’s dates are placed in the 11th–12th centuries, centuries before Emperor Akbar (1556-1605). Kabir (c. 15th century) lived long before Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624) and could not have been influenced by him. Therefore both statements are incorrect.
