1. A

   1 and 2

   1 and 2. Arcot/Carnatic was a Mughal-Deccan nawabi, not simply ‘out of Hyderabad’ as the only origin; Rohilkhand is not Durrani land in that form. Mysore from Vijayanagara remnants holds.

2. B

   2 only

   2 only. Mysore rose on Vijayanagara’s fall. Arcot and Rohilkhand statements fail as framed.

3. C

   2 and 3

   2 and 3. Statement 3: Rohillas from Afghan settlers, not Durrani-occupied territory as stated.

4. D

   3 only

   3 only. False origin story.

Summary. Official key is (b) 2 only. The Mysore kingdom emerged in the space left by Vijayanagara. The Nizamat of Arcot is not correctly derived from Hyderabad as statement 1 puts it, and Rohilkhand was not carved from Ahmad Shah Durrani’s occupation as statement 3 claims.
