Explanation

The chronological order of the Peshwas mentioned is as follows:

  • Balaji Vishwanath (1713–1720): The first of the hereditary Peshwas, he helped Chhatrapati Shahu consolidate his position.
  • Bajirao I (1720–1740): Son of Balaji Vishwanath, he was a brilliant military commander who expanded the Maratha Empire across Central and North India.
  • Madhav Rao I (1761–1772): He became Peshwa after the disastrous Third Battle of Panipat and is credited with the Maratha resurrection, restoring the empire's lost prestige.
  • Narayan Rao (1772–1773): The younger brother of Madhav Rao I, he was assassinated within a year of his reign by his uncle Raghunath Rao.

Thus, the correct sequence is (I) Balaji Viswanath, (II) Bajirao I, (IV) Madhav Rao I, and (III) Narayan Rao.
