Answer 1

The correct answer is 1526.Key Points

Babur was a Mongol prince who founded the Mughal Empire in India in 1526 after defeating Ibrahim Lodi, the Sultan of Delhi, at the battle of Panipat.
The battle of Panipat was a significant event in Indian history as it marked the beginning of the Mughal Empire, which lasted for more than 300 years and left a lasting impact on Indian culture, art, and architecture.
Babur's victory at Panipat was mainly due to his superior military tactics and the use of artillery, which was a relatively new technology in India at that time.
Babur's descendants, including Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan, continued to expand and consolidate the Mughal Empire, which reached its zenith under Aurangzeb in the late 17th century.
