A 2 4 1 3
B 3 4 1 2
C 1 3 2 4
D 4 1 2 3

Correct answer: (b) 3 4 1 2

Explanation

  1. A

    2 4 1 3

    (a) 2 4 1 3. Gives Diwan-i-Tan the events-and-farmans brief. That is the waqianavis; Diwan-i-Tan dealt with cash salaries and jagirs.

  2. B

    3 4 1 2

    (b) 3 4 1 2. Diwan-i-Tan → jagir and salaries (3), Mustarfi → income–expenditure check (4), Mushrif → office (1), Vakianvis → events and farmans (2). Official key.

  3. C

    1 3 2 4

    (c) 1 3 2 4. Opens Diwan-i-Tan as office-keeper and sends waqianavis to the treasury audit—roles reversed.

  4. D

    4 1 2 3

    (d) 4 1 2 3. Starts Diwan-i-Tan as state auditor, which is the mustarfi’s work.

Summary. Official key is (b) 3 4 1 2. In Mughal finance, diwan-i-tan administered tankhwah and jagir; mustarfi audited receipts and issues; mushrif kept the office books; waqianavis recorded occurrences and royal orders. Any code that swaps tan with audit or news-writing fails.
