Ramachandradeva (also known as Ramachandra) was the Yadava ruler of Deogiri (Devagiri) when Ala-ud-din Khilji invaded the kingdom in 1294 CE. The Yadava dynasty of Devagiri ruled from 9th to 14th centuries CE, and Ramachandradeva's defeat marked the beginning of Islamic expansion into the Deccan. The other options are from later periods - Feroz and Muhammad Tughlaq were 14th century rulers, and Iltutmish was 13th century.
To answer this question, we need to understand the historical context of Ramachandradeva, the Yadava King of Deogiri. Ramachandradeva ruled during the 13th century, specifically during the period of the Delhi Sultanate.
Let's go through each option to determine the correct answer:
Option A) Ala uddin Khilji - This option is correct. Ala uddin Khilji was a ruler of the Delhi Sultanate who reigned from 1296 to 1316. He was a contemporary of Ramachandradeva.
Option B) Feroz Tughlaq - This option is incorrect. Feroz Tughlaq ruled the Delhi Sultanate from 1351 to 1388, which is after the reign of Ramachandradeva. Therefore, Feroz Tughlaq was not a contemporary of Ramachandradeva.
Option C) Muhammad Tughlaq - This option is incorrect. Muhammad Tughlaq ruled the Delhi Sultanate from 1325 to 1351, which is also after the reign of Ramachandradeva. Therefore, Muhammad Tughlaq was not a contemporary of Ramachandradeva.
