Ans: (b) Farukh Siyyar
Explanation: The Mughal-Maratha treaty of 1719 was concluded during the times of (b) Farukh Siyyar.
Farukh Siyyar was the Mughal emperor who ruled from 1713 to 1719. The treaty signed between the Mughal Empire and the Maratha Empire in 1719 marked a significant agreement between the two powers.
Under the terms of the treaty, known as the Treaty of Warna, the Mughal emperor recognized the autonomy and territorial control of the Marathas over vast regions in western India. The treaty granted the Marathas substantial administrative and revenue rights in the Deccan region, effectively acknowledging their de facto independence.
The Treaty of Warna was a crucial turning point in the relationship between the Mughals and the Marathas. It recognized the growing power and influence of the Marathas and laid the foundation for their future expansion and political dominance in India.
Therefore, the Mughal-Maratha treaty of 1719 was concluded during the reign of Farukh Siyyar.
