Plsssss help

Answer 1

Answer:

Several projects of Muhammad bin Tughlaq were failures. The most notable among these were: Transfer of capital from Delhi to Devagiri. This failed as he tried to get the entire population of Delhi to shift to Devagiri, instead of shifting just his government.

Answer 2

Explanation:

1. He transferred his capital from Delhi to Devgiri, to avoid the fury of attacks of Mangols and to exercise better control on the Deccan.
2. He imposed land tax in the Doab area at 50 per cent of the produce. The peasants, who had recently suffered due to a widespread famine, were stunned by the order.
3. He then thought of issuing token currency of copper nstead of silver coins. But due to increased circulation of counterfeit coins, he had to withdraw his orders and asked the people to exchange their coins with silver coins.
