Explanation:

  1. The Nizamat of Arcot: The Arcot State, also known as the Carnatic State or the Nawabdom of Carnatic, was a princely state in present-day Tamil Nadu and southern Karnataka. It was formed out of the territories of the Mughal Empire and was ruled by the Nawabs of Arcot. The state emerged as a result of the Carnatic Wars fought between the British East India Company and the French East India Company in the 18th century. So, statement 1 is incorrect.
  2. The Mysore Kingdom: The Mysore Kingdom was a kingdom in southern India that emerged in the late 16th century, after the decline of the Vijayanagara Empire. It was ruled by the Wodeyar dynasty and played an important role in the history of South India. So, statement 2 is correct.
  3. Rohilkhand Kingdom: The Rohilkhand Kingdom was a small Muslim state in present-day Uttar Pradesh. It was founded by Hafiz Rahmat Khan, a Rohilla Afghan, in the mid-18th century. The territory of the kingdom was acquired through a series of conquests and was not formed out of the territories occupied by Ahmad Shah Durrani. So, statement 3 is incorrect.
