Consider the following statements: Statement 1. Alauddin Khalji is remembered for administrative reforms and military expansion in the north. Statement 2. Muhammad Bin Tughlaq’s project to transfer the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad ultimately failed. Which of the statements is/are correct?
Both 1 and 2 are correct
Statement 1 is correct: Alauddin Khalji (1296–1316) introduced market price control, land revenue measurement, branding of horses (dagh) and descriptive rolls of soldiers (huliya), and kept a large standing army.
He repelled Mongol invasions and conquered Gujarat (1299), Ranthambore (1301), Chittor (1303) and Malwa (1305) in the north, while his general Malik Kafur led campaigns to the south.
Statement 2 is correct: Muhammad bin Tughlaq shifted the capital to Daulatabad (Devagiri) in 1327, but the long distance, hardship of the people and northern unrest forced him to move back to Delhi within a few years.
So both statements are correct.
Hence, Both 1 and 2 are correct.
