  1. Who of the following Sultans of Delhi had abolished the tax on grain (also called Zakat on grain)?
    1. Aluddin Khilji
    2. Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq
    3. Firoz Shah Tughlaq
    4. Sikandar Lodi
Correct Option: D

Sikandar Lodi was the Sultan of Delhi between 1489 to 1517 AD. He was a laborious, generous and just ruler. Owing to a transient shortage of maize, he abolished the Zakat on grain and it was not renewed by any subsequent Sultan. The prices of all necessary articles remained low during his period.
