C. 1664
D. 1668

Answer 1

Hint: The battle of Pavan Khind was fought between the Maratha Fighter Baji Prabhu Deshpande and Siddi Masud of Adilshah Sultanate. It was fought close to a city which is known as Kolhapur.

Complete answer: The battle of Pavan Khind was considered as the last stand that occurred on 13 July 1660 at a mountain pass in the region of stronghold Vishalgad. This region is close to the city of Kolhapur, Maharashtra. The commitment finishing with the pulverization of the Maratha powers, and a strategic triumph for the Bijapur Sultanate, yet neglecting to accomplish a key triumph. In 1660, the Maratha Lord Shivaji was caught in the fortification of Panhala, under attack and endlessly overshadowed by an Adilshahi armed force that was led by an Abyssinian named Siddi Masud. The Adilshahis were the intruders which administered Bijapur for a very long time. The ruler at the time of the battle was Ali Adil Shah II. Baji Prabhu Deshpande figured out how to draw in an enormous Adilshahi armed force with 300 fighters, while Shivaji figured out how to get away from the attack. Shivaji held in that quarter just the strongholds of Rangana and Vishalgarh.
Therefore the correct answer is “A”.

Note: The Bijapuris declined to attack Vishalgarh. Not only that but they also resigned to their own domain, in the wake of recovering Pavangarh and some different fortresses notwithstanding Panhala.
