Answer 1

Hint: Amar Singh Rathore was the son of Mewar king Gaj Singh Rathore. He was disinherited from his father for saving a bandit from the mughals. He later joined the Mughals after being disinherited by his own dynasty and became a courtier of the mughal emperor Shah Jahan. His brother was Jaswant Singh.

Complete answer:
Let us discuss each option individually in detail to figure out the correct answer.

Jaswant Singh: Jaswant Singh was the brother of Amar Singh Rathore and the son of Gaj Singh Rathore. Upon the disinheritance of his brother Amar Singh, he was made the succeeding emperor of Mewar. Therefore, this is the correct option.

Maan Singh: Raja Maan Singh was the king of Amer. He was not given the throne of Mewar instead of Amar Singh, therefore, this is not the correct option.

Ajay Singh: Raja Ajay Singh was the king of Mewar once upon a time. He was not given the throne of Mewar instead of Amar Singh, therefore, this is not the correct option.

Vijay Singh: Raja Vijay Singh was the king of Mewar, once upon a time . He was not given the throne of Mewar instead of Amar Singh, therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)

Note: The legendary bravery and battle prowess of Amar Singh Rathore resulted in elevation to a high rank in the imperial nobility and personal recognition by the emperor Shah Jahan, who made him the subedar (governor) of Nagaur, which was a region that was directly ruled by the emperor himself.
