Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
After the death of Rajaram (1700 A.D) Marathas continued the war against the Mughals under the leadership of Tarabai (Garurdion of Shivaji-II). When Bajirao came to power, the mughal empire was much weakened. The credit to the weakening of the mughals goes not to Bajirao but to his predecessors like Shivaji, Shivaji's son Sambhaji, Shivaji's second son Rajaram and later Rajaram's wife Tarabai also to generals like Santaji and Dhanaji who fought for Rajaram.
