Answer 1

Hint: The Nizams were related to each other biologically and were the heirs to the throne of Hyderabad. During the second Carnatic War the English and their allies had to face defeat.

Complete answer:
During those days ,the struggle for supremacy was going on in the south between the English East India company and the French East India company. Now let's see the options:

Muzaffar Jung and Nasir Jung- After Nizam-ul-mulk died, a power struggle ensued between his son Nasir Jung and his grandson Muzaffar Jung ,which was an opportunity for France and England to interfere in Indian politics. France aided Muzaffar Jung while England aided Nasir Jung .Hence this is the correct option.
Chanda Sahib and Muzaffar Jung- France helped Muzaffar Jung become the Nawab of Hyderabad and Chanda Sahib nawab of Carnatic so they were on the same side. Hence this is an incorrect answer.
Muzaffar Jung and Anwaruddin- Anwaruddin was killed in the second Carnatic war hence this is an incorrect option.
Anwaruddin and Chanda Sahib- Anwaruddin was killed in the second Carnatic war hence this is an incorrect option.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

Note: Chanda Sahib's defeat led the British to immense success in the second Carnatic War . The success brought a ray of hope in the dark life of Robert Clive who was deemed as a saviour of British rule after this war.
