Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Concept

Haryana's Sultanate- and Mughal-era built heritage — forts, tombs, and garden complexes — is attributed to specific towns in the state's own monument records (the Department of Archaeology & Museums and Haryana Tourism). A ‘monument–location’ pairing is confirmed by checking it against that record, not by assuming it from the structure's name.

Application

  • (A) Gujari Mahal is part of the Firoz Shah Tughlaq–era palace complex at Hisar, built for his queen Gujari — its location is recorded under Hisar, so this pairing holds.

  • (B) Aram-e-Kausar (also spelled Aram-i-Kausar) is the garden complex built by Shah Quli Khan, Akbar's Mughal-era governor of Narnaul, in the late 16th century — it is recorded under Narnaul, so this pairing also holds.

  • (C) The Tomb of Sheikh Tayyab, however, is recorded under Kaithal district in the same monument listings, not Jind — so this pairing does not hold.

Since (A) and (B) are accurately matched while (C) is not, the pairing ‘(A) and (B)’ is the correct code.

Cross-check

Cross-checking against Haryana Tourism's monument pages and the Department of Archaeology & Museums' site listings confirms the same attribution independently — Gujari Mahal under Hisar, Aram-e-Kausar under Narnaul, and the Tomb of Sheikh Tayyab under Kaithal — verifying that no other offered combination of (A), (B), (C) matches the official record.
