Correct Answerसही उत्तर

C. Ala-ud-din KhiljiC. अला-उद-दीन खिलजी

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Ala-ud-din Khilji.
Alai Darwaza is the southern gateway of the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque in the Qutub Minar complex at Delhi.
The source states that it was built by Sultan Alauddin Khilji in 1311 AD.
Alauddin undertook several architectural projects connected with the Qutub complex as part of his ambitious building programme.
Alai Darwaza is an important monument of Delhi Sultanate architecture and is especially useful for studying the development of arches, domes, decorative stonework and Indo-Islamic architectural forms.
Its construction belongs to the Khalji period, which followed the Slave dynasty and preceded the Tughlaq dynasty.
Students should distinguish the monument from the Qutub Minar itself: Qutbuddin Aibak began the construction of the Qutub Minar and Iltutmish continued it, whereas Alai Darwaza is associated with Alauddin Khilji.
A simple examination pair is: Alai Darwaza → Qutub complex → 1311 AD → Alauddin Khilji.
Therefore, option (c) is correct.

सही उत्तर Ala-ud-din Khilji है। Alai Darwaza Delhi के Qutub Minar complex में स्थित Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque का दक्षिणी प्रवेश द्वार है। स्रोत के अनुसार इसका निर्माण Sultan Alauddin Khilji ने 1311 ईस्वी में कराया था। Alauddin ने Qutub complex से संबंधित कई स्थापत्य योजनाएँ आरंभ की थीं। Alai Darwaza Delhi Sultanate architecture का महत्वपूर्ण स्मारक है और arches, domes, decorative stonework तथा Indo-Islamic architectural forms के विकास को समझने के लिए विशेष महत्व रखता है। इसका निर्माण Khalji period में हुआ, जो Slave dynasty के बाद और Tughlaq dynasty से पहले का काल था। इसे Qutub Minar के निर्माण से अलग करके याद रखना चाहिए। Qutbuddin Aibak ने Qutub Minar का निर्माण आरंभ कराया और Iltutmish ने उसे आगे बढ़ाया, जबकि Alai Darwaza का संबंध Alauddin Khilji से है। परीक्षा के लिए सीधा संबंध याद रखें: Alai Darwaza → Qutub complex → 1311 ईस्वी → Alauddin Khilji। अतः विकल्प (c) सही है।
