SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Awadh

Shuja-ud-Daulah was the Nawab of Awadh (Oudh), ruling from 1754 to 1775 in the region around present-day Uttar Pradesh.

He was the son of Safdar Jung and a prominent figure among the successor states that emerged as Mughal power declined.

Shuja-ud-Daulah fought against the British East India Company in the Battle of Buxar in 1764, where he was defeated along with Mir Qasim and the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II.

After the defeat he signed the Treaty of Allahabad (1765) with the British.

Amber was a Rajput state, Mysore was ruled by figures like Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, and Hyderabad was under the Nizam, so none of these fit.

Since Shuja-ud-Daulah is specifically associated with Awadh, that is the correct region.

Therefore, the correct answer is Awadh.
