In which year was the Treaty of Seringapatam signed after the Third Mysore War?

1792

The Treaty of Seringapatam was signed in 1792 at the end of the Third Anglo-Mysore War. The war involved the forces of Tipu Sultan against a coalition led by the East India Company, the Nizam of Hyderabad, and the Marathas. The treaty imposed major terms on Tipu Sultan, including the surrender of territory and the giving of hostages. It is therefore an important date in the history of Mysore and British expansion in India.

Option B, 1792, is correct. The year 1782 belongs to the period around the end of the Second Anglo-Mysore War, while 1799 is associated with the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War and the death of Tipu Sultan. The year 1802 is unrelated to this treaty. Linking 1792 with Tipu Sultan and the Third Mysore War makes the date easier to remember and avoids confusing it with 1799.
