Explanation: The treaty of Mangalore was signed between (b) the English East India Company and Tipu Sultan.
The Treaty of Mangalore was signed on 11 March 1784 between the English East India Company and Tipu Sultan, the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore. The treaty was a result of the Second Anglo-Mysore War (1780-1784) between the British East India Company and the Kingdom of Mysore.
The terms of the treaty included the restoration of all territories and possessions to both sides that were held before the war. Both parties agreed to release prisoners of war and restore their territories without any indemnification or payment. It was a mutual agreement to restore peace and maintain friendly relations between the English East India Company and Tipu Sultan.
The Treaty of Mangalore brought an end to the Second Anglo-Mysore War and resulted in a temporary period of peace between the British and Mysore. However, tensions and conflicts would later resurface, leading to further wars between the two powers.
