Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 3 only
Gunpowder weapons and the arch-and-dome architectural form were present in India well before Babur’s arrival—introduced by earlier Mongol/Turkic contacts and Delhi Sultanate builders—so statements 1 and 2 are incorrect. Babur’s victory at Panipat (1526) founded the Mughal state as an extension of his Timurid lineage, making statement 3 correct. Therefore only statement 3 is true (option b).
