Option 1 states that Abdur Razzaq Samarqandi from Herat visited Delhi and Daulatabad. This statement is correct as Abdur Razzaq Samarqandi did indeed visit both Delhi and Daulatabad.

Option 2 states that Ibn Battuta provides detailed accounts of both Delhi and Daulatabad. This statement is correct as Ibn Battuta is known for his extensive travel writings, including detailed accounts of his visits to Delhi and Daulatabad.

Option 3 states that according to Francois Bernier there was no private property in land in Mughal India. This statement is incorrect. Francois Bernier, a French physician, did travel to India during the Mughal era and wrote about his experiences, but he did not mention anything about the absence of private property in land. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: 2 and 3 only. Both statements about Ibn Battuta providing detailed accounts and Francois Bernier not mentioning the absence of private property are correct.
