Important Battles question: What happened to Hemu during the Second Battle of Panipat in 1556?

The source-backed, question-specific record explains: Hemu was struck in the eye during the battle, lost command effectiveness and was captured by the Mughal army. He was then killed in the Mughal camp. Narrative sources differ over Akbar’s and Bairam Khan’s precise roles, so asking who “ordered his execution” as an uncontested fact is unsafe. 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 A gives He was wounded, captured and subsequently killed and satisfies every condition stated in the question. The remaining choices—He escaped and retained Delhi, He surrendered before the battle and He joined Akbar’s service—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 He was wounded, captured and subsequently killed without relying on option position. This approach builds accurate historical knowledge and careful option elimination for SSC, Railway, Banking, Defence, State.
