Explanation

The Tughlaq dynasty ruled Delhi for the longest period (about 110 years from 1320-1414), while the Khalji dynasty had the shortest rule (about 30 years from 1290-1320) among the major dynasties. The 'Das dynasty' is not historically accurate - it's likely a corruption of 'Slave dynasty'.
