D) A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Ibn Batutah says that Muhamrned-bin-Tughlaq was disgusted with the population of Delhi and thus wanted to punish them. But most of the historians do not agree will Ibn Batutah.

He not only increased the rate of taxation but also revived and created sonic additional Abwabs or cessess. Although the share of die state remained half as in the time of Alauddin, it was fixed arbitrarily and not on the basis of actual produce.
