3. Mir Jafar entered in a conspiracy with the English for the defeat of Nawab Siraj-ud-daulah in the Battle of Plassey.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is incorrect because the Third Battle of Panipat took place in 1761 between Ahmed Shah Abdali and the Marathas. Ibrahim Lodi was defeated by Babur in the First Battle of Panipat in 1526.

Statement 2 is incorrect because Tipu Sultan was killed in 1799 during the Fourth Anglo Mysore War, not the third. The Third Anglo Mysore War ended with the Treaty of Seringapatam in 1792.

Statement 3 is correct because Mir Jafar, the commander in chief of the Nawab's army, conspired with Robert Clive and the British East India Company to betray Siraj ud daulah at the Battle of Plassey in 1757.
