Tipu Sultan is especially remembered for the use of which technological weapon in Mysore?

Correct answer: Iron cased rockets

The direct answer is A, iron-cased rockets. Tipu Sultan ruled Mysore and is remembered not merely for ordinary weapons, but for the military use of rockets with iron tubes or casings. The iron casing allowed the rocket to hold greater pressure and travel farther than a simple paper or bamboo rocket. Mysorean forces used these rockets against the British, and the technology later influenced British military rocket development. Option A is correct because it identifies this special technological feature. Option B, long swords, were common weapons and were not Tipu Sultan’s distinctive technological contribution. Option C, war-elephant armour, is unrelated to the famous Mysorean innovation. Option D, a stone-throwing machine, describes an older siege device and is not the weapon for which Tipu Sultan is especially remembered. Exam cue: Tipu Sultan plus Mysore military innovation means iron-cased rockets.
