After the Tughlaqs, which two dynasties ruled Agra until 1526?
Sayyids and Lodis
The question asks which two dynasties held Agra and the Delhi region after the Tughlaqs, right up to the year 1526.
The Tughlaq dynasty declined after Timur's invasion of 1398 and was succeeded by the Sayyid dynasty, which ruled roughly from 1414 to 1451.
The Sayyids were then replaced by the Lodi dynasty (1451-1526), the last dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate.
Sikandar Lodi founded and developed Agra as a capital in 1504, and Ibrahim Lodi ruled from there until his defeat at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526, when Babur founded Mughal rule.
"Sur and Khaljis" is wrong because the Khaljis ruled before the Tughlaqs and the Surs came later, in the 1540s.
"Tughlaqs and Mughals" is wrong because the Tughlaqs preceded this period and the Mughals began only after 1526.
"Khiljis and Lodis" is wrong because the Khaljis were an earlier, pre-Tughlaq dynasty.
Hence the correct answer is Sayyids and Lodis.
