Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The Battle of Lalsot was fought in 1787 AD (28 July 1787) between the Maratha forces led by Mahadji Scindia and the combined Rajput armies of Jaipur and Jodhpur. Scindia, acting as the regent of the Mughal emperor, marched into Rajputana to collect tribute. The Rajputs repulsed the Maratha advance, and Scindia was forced to retreat. Hence, the correct year is 1787 AD.
