B) Pune
C) Solapur
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint:
- Bajirao-I erected Shaniwar Wada, a 13-story Peshwas palace, in the year 1736.
- Tulsi Baug is well-known for its low-cost dinnerware, apparel, cosmetics, purses, stationery, and shoes. It is near the Shri Dagduseth Ganesh temple, a well-known Ganesh temple.
- Formerly known as Reay Market, Mahatma Phule Mandai was renamed Mahatma Phule Mandal Market in 1938. It was originally constructed by the British government.

Complete answer:
Shaniwarwada is a mediaeval fortification in the Maharashtra city of Pune. It was built in 1732 and served as the Maratha Empire's great seat until 1818 when the Peshwas lost control to the British East India Company following the Third Anglo-Maratha War. In the 18th century, the palace became the focal point of Indian politics after the rise of the Maratha Empire.

Mahatma Phule Mandai (previously known as Lord Reay's Market) in Pune, India's largest retail vegetable market. In the Shukrawar Peth neighbourhood in the city's core, the market is housed in a historic edifice from the British colonial era.

Tulshibaug is a residential area in Pune, Maharashtra, India. It is located in the heart of the city. Two of the city's most remarkable features are a mediaeval temple precinct and a large market. All three places are, therefore, present in Pune.

Thus, the correct answer is Option (B) i.e, Pune.

Note: The Shaniwarwada was the Peshwas of the Maratha Empire's seven-story capital edifice. It was planned to be totally made of stone, but once the base floor or first storey was completed, the people of Satara (the national capital) objected to the Shahu(King), claiming that only the Shahu(King) himself could authorise and build a stone monument, not the Peshwas.
