Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is 1191.
Prithviraj Chauhan defeated Muhammad Ghori in the First Battle of Tarain in 1191.
The battle was fought near Tarain, generally identified with the Taraori region in present-day Haryana.
Muhammad Ghori returned the following year and fought Prithviraj Chauhan again.
In the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192, the result was reversed and Ghori defeated Prithviraj.
These two battles are important chronological markers in medieval Indian history.
The first battle demonstrated the strength of the Chauhan forces, while the second resulted in a major Ghurid military success in northern India.
Ghori's commanders subsequently played an important role in consolidating control over conquered territories.
For examination purposes, the simplest memory rule is: 1191 = First Tarain = Prithviraj wins; 1192 = Second Tarain = Ghori wins.
Since the question specifically asks for the year in which Prithviraj defeated Muhammad Ghori before losing to him the following year, the answer is 1191.
सही उत्तर 1191 है। पृथ्वीराज चौहान ने 1191 में हुए First Battle of Tarain में Muhammad Ghori को पराजित किया था। यह युद्ध Tarain के निकट हुआ, जिसकी पहचान सामान्यतः वर्तमान Haryana के Taraori क्षेत्र से की जाती है। अगले वर्ष Muhammad Ghori फिर लौटा और 1192 में दोनों के बीच Second Battle of Tarain हुआ। इस बार परिणाम उलट गया और Muhammad Ghori ने Prithviraj Chauhan को पराजित किया। मध्यकालीन भारतीय इतिहास में ये दोनों युद्ध महत्वपूर्ण chronological markers हैं। प्रथम युद्ध में चौहान शक्ति की विजय हुई, जबकि दूसरे युद्ध ने उत्तर भारत में Ghurid military expansion के लिए महत्वपूर्ण मार्ग खोला। परीक्षा में इसे बहुत सरल तरीके से याद रखें: 1191 = First Tarain = Prithviraj wins; 1192 = Second Tarain = Ghori wins। प्रश्न में उस वर्ष को पूछा गया है जिसमें पृथ्वीराज ने गोरी को हराया था और अगले वर्ष स्वयं उससे हार गया। अतः सही उत्तर 1191 है।
