Q. Musical instrument used by Amir Khusro was
(a) Sitar
(b) Sarod

Ans: (a) Sitar
Explanation: Khusrau is credited for the invention of the sitar. At the time, there were many versions of the Veena in India. He rechristened the 3 stringed Tritantri Veena as a Sehtaar (Persian for 3 stringed), which eventually became known as the sitar.
