Answer:
Madras and Pondicherry were the chief trading centres for the English and French respectively on the Coromandel.
The French sided with Muzaffar Jang and Chanda Sahib while the English supported the claims of Nasir Jang and Anwar-ud-Din.
The combined forces of Muzaffar Jang, Chanda Sahib and the French defeated and killed Anwar-ud-Din at the battle of Ambur near Vellore in 1749.
The Carnatic came under the control of Chanda Sahib who rewarded the French with a grant of 80 villages around Pondicherry.
