Which among the following is not correctly matched? 1. First Anglo My...
The correct answer is option 'B' - 2 and 3 Only.
Explanation:
1. First Anglo Mysore war - Treaty of Madras: The First Anglo-Mysore War (1767-1769) was fought between the Kingdom of Mysore under Hyder Ali and the British East India Company. The war ended with the Treaty of Madras in 1769, where both parties agreed to restore their respective territories and prisoners of war.
2. Second Anglo Maratha war - Treaty of Salbai: The Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803-1805) was fought between the Maratha Empire and the British East India Company. The war ended with the Treaty of Salbai in 1782, not in 1805 as mentioned in the options. The Treaty of Salbai recognized the Maratha Empire's control over territories and established a peace agreement between the two parties.
3. Fourth Anglo Mysore war - Treaty of Seringapatam: The Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1798-1799) was fought between the British East India Company and the Kingdom of Mysore under Tipu Sultan. The war ended with the Treaty of Seringapatam in 1799, where Tipu Sultan was killed, and Mysore was divided between the British and its allies.
Therefore, option 'B' is the correct answer as the Second Anglo-Maratha War did not end with the Treaty of Salbai in 1805, but rather with the Treaty of Salbai in 1782.

- The Second Anglo-Maratha War occurred from 1803 to 1805 between the Maratha Empire and the British East India Company.
- The Treaty of Salbai was not associated with the Second Anglo-Maratha War. Instead, it refers to the Treaty of Salbai signed in 1782, which ended the First Anglo-Maratha War.

- The Fourth Anglo-Mysore War took place from 1798 to 1799 between the British East India Company and the Kingdom of Mysore under Tipu Sultan.

- The Treaty of Seringapatam was signed in 1799 after the British victory, resulting in the complete subjugation of Mysore to British control.
