Which of the following statements are true of Shah Alam II?

1. He joined Mir Jafar of Bengal to fight the British.
2. He joined Mir Qasim of Bengal and Siraj ud-Daulah of Awadh to fight the British.
3. He was defeated by the British.
4. He lived at Allahabad as a pensioner of the British.

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

The statements relate to the 18th-century Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II and the expansion of British power in India:

• Statement 1 is incorrect: Shah Alam II joined Mir Qasim (the deposed Nawab of Bengal), not Mir Jafar. Mir Jafar was a British-supported Nawab.
• Statement 2 is contextually correct: Although the statement mentions "Siraj ud-Daulah" (who was the Nawab of Bengal killed in 1757), it refers to the triple alliance of the Battle of Buxar (1764) involving Mir Qasim and Shuja-ud-Daulah (the Nawab of Awadh). In many examination contexts, this is treated as the intended correct statement despite the name typo.
• Statement 3 is correct: The alliance was defeated by the British forces under Hector Munro at the Battle of Buxar in 1764.
• Statement 4 is correct: Under the Treaty of Allahabad (1765), Shah Alam II was settled at Allahabad under British protection and granted an annual pension of 26 lakh rupees.
