Important Battles question: The Battle of Buxar (1764) was fought between the British and a combined force of which rulers?

The verified answer to “Important Battles question: The Battle of Buxar (1764) was fought between the British and a combined force of which rulers?” is Mir Qasim Shuja ud-Daula and Shah Alam II, option B. The source-backed, question-specific record explains: The Battle of Buxar was fought on October 22 1764 between the British East India Company under Major Hector Munro and the combined forces of Mir Qasim (Nawab of Bengal) Shuja ud-Daula (Nawab of Awadh) and Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. This evidence establishes the historical relationship required in this Important Battles item. A correct solution must preserve the exact battle, date, participants, commander, location, outcome or significance requested by the stem. Similar periods, genres or national traditions do not make two battle facts interchangeable. Option B gives Mir Qasim Shuja ud-Daula and Shah Alam II and satisfies every condition stated in the question. The remaining choices—Siraj ud-Daulah and Hyder Ali, Tipu Sultan and Nizam and Marathas and Mughals—do not satisfy the complete requirement. The reliable checking method is to identify the named battle first, recall or verify its verified participant or outcome, and then read qualifiers such as “both works,” “original language,” “first published,” “correctly matched” or “incorrectly matched.” These qualifiers determine what counts as the answer. Replaying that method for this Important Battles question confirms Mir Qasim Shuja ud-Daula and Shah Alam II without relying on option position. This approach builds accurate historical knowledge and careful option elimination for SSC, Railway, Banking, Defence, State and other.
