Explanation
The correct chronological order of the Peshwas is as follows:
- Balaji Vishwanath (1713–1720): The first of the hereditary Peshwas, he played a crucial role in consolidating Shahu's authority over the Maratha Empire.
- Balaji Baji Rao (1740–1761): Also known as Nana Saheb, the Maratha power reached its zenith during his rule, though it suffered a major blow at the Third Battle of Panipat (1761).
- Narayan Rao (1772–1773): He succeeded Madhav Rao I but was assassinated in a palace conspiracy involving his uncle Raghunath Rao.
- Raghunath Rao (1773–1774): He claimed the Peshwaship after Narayan Rao's death but was soon ousted by the 'Barabhai' council led by Nana Phadnavis.
Therefore, the correct ascending chronological sequence is 4, 2, 3, 1.
