B) General Harris
C) Col. Reed
D) General Stuart
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] The Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1798 -1799) was a conflict in South India between the Kingdom of Mysore and the British East India Company under the Earl of Mornington. This was the final conflict of the four Anglo-Mysore Wars. The main army under General Harris supported by Nizam's subsidiary force under Arthur Wellesley attacked Mysore from the east while another army advanced from Bombay. The British captured the capital of Mysore. The ruler Tipu Sultan was killed in the battle. Britain took indirect control of Mysore, restoring the Wodeyar Dynasty to the Mysore throne (with a British commissioner to advise him on all issues). Tipu Sultan's young heir, Fateh Ali, was sent into exile. The Kingdom of Mysore became a princely state in a subsidiary alliance with British India and ceded Coimbatore, Uttara Kannada, and Dakshina Kannada to the British.
