Important Battles question: Which two Ottoman-style artillery specialists are associated with Babur’s gun deployment at Panipat?

The source-backed, question-specific record explains: Babur’s memoir and later accounts associate Ustad Ali Quli and Mustafa Rumi with the field artillery arrangement used against Ibrahim Lodi. This is a stronger fact than uncertain numerical estimates that present Babur’s and Lodi’s troop strengths as exact figures. This evidence establishes the historical relationship required in this Important Battles item. Similar periods, genres or national traditions do not make two battle facts interchangeable. Option A gives Ustad Ali Quli and Mustafa Rumi and satisfies every condition stated in the question. The remaining choices—Bairam Khan and Tardi Beg, Todar Mal and Birbal and Mir Jafar and Rai Durlabh—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 Ustad Ali Quli and Mustafa Rumi without relying on option position. This approach builds accurate historical knowledge and careful option elimination for SSC, Railway, Banking, Defence, State and other competitive examinations.
