Baji Rao I, also known as Baji Rao Ballal, was the son of which of the following Maratha Peshwas ?
Balaji Vishwanath
Balaji Vishwanath was appointed Peshwa by Chhatrapati Shahu in 1713 and laid the foundation of hereditary Peshwa power; he secured the 1719 Mughal grants of chauth and sardeshmukhi for the Marathas.
On his death in 1720, his son Baji Rao I (Baji Rao Ballal) became Peshwa and served until 1740. Baji Rao I expanded Maratha power northwards, winning the Battle of Palkhed (1728) and raiding Delhi in 1737.
The other names come after Baji Rao I: Balaji Baji Rao (Nanasaheb) and Raghunath Rao were his sons, and Madhavrao I was the son of Balaji Baji Rao. So none of them could be his father, and since the father is listed, 'None of the above' does not apply.
Balaji Vishwanath option is correct.
