Question

Assertion (A): Muhammad bin Tughlaq left Delhi, and, for two years lived in a camp called Swarga-dwari. Reason (R): At that time, Delhi was ravaged by a form of plague and many people died.

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C because the Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

The Assertion is true as Muhammad bin Tughlaq did leave Delhi in 1338 to live in a camp called Swargadwari on the banks of the Ganges near Kannauj for about two and a half years.

The Reason is false because his departure was not due to a plague in Delhi. He left primarily because of a severe and prolonged famine in the Delhi region that made it impossible to sustain the imperial court and army. While a plague did affect his army later during an expedition to the south, it was famine, not a plague in the capital, that drove him to Swargadwari.
