Answer 1

Explanation:

Under the Delhi Sultanate, certain land reforms were introduced in the revenue department. The lands were categorised into three classes-

Iqta land – the lands which were allotted to the officials as iqtas instead of payment for their services.

Khalisa land – it was directly under the control of the Sultan and the revenue generated was utilised for maintaining the royal court and royal household.

Inam land – it was allotted to religious institutions or religious leaders.

The system of coinage had also boomed during the Delhi Sultanate. Several types of tankas were issued by Iltutmish. During the Khalji rule, one tanka was divided into 48 jitals and 50 jitals during the Tughlaq rule. After the south Indian conquests by Alauddin Khalji, gold coins or dinars became popular. Copper coins were fewer in number and dateless. Muhammad Bin Tughlaq experimented with token currency and also issued different types of gold & silver coins. The coins were minted at different places. At least twenty-five different types of gold coins were issued by him.
