Previous Year Question

(a) Khuldabad — Tomb of Shaikh Salim Chishti — Incorrect.
The tomb of Shaikh Salim Chishti is situated in the courtyard of the Jama Masjid at Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh. According to UNESCO, the tomb was completed around 1580–81 CE and was further embellished during Jahangir's reign in 1606.

In contrast, Khuldabad in Maharashtra contains the tomb of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar District Administration of the Government of Maharashtra identifies Khuldabad as the location of Aurangzeb's roza.

(b) Fatehpur — Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah — Incorrect.
The Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah is situated at Agra, on the bank of the Yamuna River. It is the tomb of Mirza Ghiyas Beg, who received the title Itimad-ud-Daulah from Jahangir.

The mausoleum was commissioned by his daughter Nur Jahan in his memory approximately between 1622 and 1628 CE. Because of its white marble and intricate stone inlay, it is sometimes called the “Baby Taj.”

(c) Agra — Tomb of Aurangzeb — Incorrect.
Aurangzeb's tomb is not at Agra but at Khuldabad, Maharashtra. Aurangzeb died in the Deccan in 1707 and was buried at Khuldabad.

Therefore, the location and the person in this option are incorrectly matched.
