The correct answer to this question is option 3: There was no victory for either side.

During the First Anglo-Maratha War, which took place from 1775 to 1782, neither the British nor the Marathas emerged as clear winners. The war was fought between the British East India Company and the Maratha Empire.

The Marathas were a powerful indigenous group in India and had established a vast empire. They were known for their military and administrative prowess. The British, on the other hand, were expanding their influence in India and saw the Marathas as a threat.

The war resulted in numerous battles and conflicts, but neither side was able to achieve a decisive victory. The Marathas were able to resist the British advancements, while the British faced challenges in controlling and governing the territories they had gained. Ultimately, a treaty was signed in 1782, known as the Treaty of Salbai, which brought a temporary end to the conflict.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: There was no victory for either side.
