Chronicles and Historians

Correct answer: A. Akbarnama

Abul Fazl wrote the Akbarnama, a major Persian chronicle of Akbar’s reign. Its third volume, the Ain-i Akbari, gives detailed information about the administration, army, revenue system, court, and society of the Mughal Empire. Rajatarangini, Harshacharita, and Prithviraj Raso are associated with other historical or literary traditions, not with Abul Fazl’s account of Akbar. Thus, option A is correct.

Correct answer: A. Turkish language

Babur wrote his memoir, the Baburnama, in Chagatai Turkish, the literary Turkic language used in his cultural world. The work later became an important source for Babur's life, campaigns, observations and interests. It was not originally written in Sanskrit, Awadhi or Marathi, although it was later translated into other languages.

Correct answer: A. Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri

Jahangir's memoir is known as Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri, also called the Jahangirnama. It records aspects of his reign, court, judgments, interests in nature and relations with nobles. Baburnama belongs to Babur, Akbarnama was written by Abul Fazl about Akbar, and Rihla records Ibn Battuta's travels, so none of these is Jahangir's autobiography.
