The question asks to identify the number of correctly matched pairs among the given historical terms related to the Delhi Sultanate.
Analyzing Historical Pairs
Pair 1: Amir-i-Dad
- Term: Amir-i-Dad
- Provided Match: Law officer who carried out the decisions of the judges
- Analysis: The Amir-i-Dad was the Chief Justice or Minister of Justice in the Delhi Sultanate. Their primary role was to dispense justice and oversee the judicial system. While enforcing decisions is part of judicial oversight, the description focuses narrowly on execution rather than the broader judicial authority of the Amir-i-Dad. This pair is generally considered not precisely matched.
Pair 2: Turkan-i-Chahalgani
- Term: Turkan-i-Chahalgani
- Provided Match: A group of forty
- Analysis: This term refers to the "Group of Forty" (Chahalgani), an elite body of Turkish nobles who held significant influence during the early Sultanate period. The match is correct.
Pair 3: Barid-i-mamalik
- Term: Barid-i-mamalik
- Provided Match: Head of the information and intelligence department
- Analysis: The Barid-i-mamalik was the chief official responsible for the intelligence and postal department, managing espionage and communication networks across the empire. The match is correct.
Conclusion on Matched Pairs
Based on the analysis:
- Pair 1 (Amir-i-Dad) is considered incorrectly matched.
- Pair 2 (Turkan-i-Chahalgani) is correctly matched.
- Pair 3 (Barid-i-mamalik) is correctly matched.
Therefore, there are exactly two correctly matched pairs.
