Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
Statement 2 is correct: the Wodeyars of Mysore began as vassals and then broke away from the declining Vijayanagara Empire after 1565. Statement 1 is wrong because the Nizamat (Nawabship) of Arcot/Carnatic originated as a Mughal-appointed governorship, not from Hyderabad State. Statement 3 is wrong; Rohilkhand was carved out in 1721 by Afghan Rohilla chiefs from collapsing Mughal territories, not from lands conquered by Ahmad Shah Durrani. Hence only statement 2 is valid.
