Question

Humayun ascended the throne in
A. 1530
B. 1541
C. 1565
D. 1507

Answer 1

Hint: Humayun succeeded his father to the throne of Delhi as ruler of the Mughal territories in the Indian subcontinent. Although he was an inexperienced ruler when he came to power at the age of 22. Humayun further expanded his empire in a very short span of time leaving a legacy for his son, Akbar.

Complete answer: When Humanyun came to the throne in the year 1530 several of his brothers revolted against him, But one of his brother Khalil Mirza supported him but was assassinated. The emperor started construction of a tomb for his brother but this was not yet finished when Humayun was forced to go to Persia. Sher Shah destroyed the structure and no further work was done
.
Let us discuss about the character of such a great Emperor:
He was kind and considerate to his dependents, devotedly attached to his son Akbar and to his brothers. The defects of his character, which render him less admirable as a successful ruler of nations, make us more fond of him as a man. He was in fact unfortunate, he scarcely had enjoyed his throne for six months in Delhi when he slipped down from the polished steps of his palace and died.

Thus option A is the correct answer.

Note: Nasir-ud-Din Muhammad better known by his real name Humayun, was the second Emperor of the Mughal Empire, who ruled Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Northern India. Like his father Babur, he also lost his kingdom early but regained it with the help of the Safavid dynasty which was a dynasty of Persia.
