1. A

   Both 1 and 2

   Option (a) claims both statements 1 and 2 are correct. However, statement 2 is incorrect because the title of Khan-i-Khana was indeed conferred upon Bairam Khan later, making this option wrong.

2. B

   Neither 1 nor 2

   Option (b) claims neither statement 1 nor 2 is correct. This is inaccurate since statement 1 is a well-established historical fact regarding Akbar and Bairam Khan.

3. C

   Only 1

   Option (c) states that only statement 1 is correct. Akbar did confer the prestigious title of Khan-i-Khana upon his loyal guardian and minister Bairam Khan after his services, while statement 2 is factually flawed regarding the exact timing of titular bestowal context in standard Mughal chronicles.

4. D

   Only 2

   Option (d) claims only statement 2 is correct. This is wrong because statement 1 is definitely correct while statement 2 fails historical scrutiny regarding the specific administrative traditions of the early Mughal court under Bairam Khan.

Summary. Official key is (c) because statement 1 correctly identifies the title given by Akbar to Bairam Khan. Statement 2 is incorrect regarding the timeline and context of such imperial honours. Bairam Khan served as the powerful regent and Vazir during the early years of Akbar's reign. Thus, only the first statement holds true among the given choices.
