The Mamluk (Slave) Dynasty ruled Delhi from 1206-1290 AD, starting with Qutb-ud-din Aibak. While the timeline in the question appears garbled (1210-1090 AD is in descending order), Mamluks is indeed the correct answer for the early Delhi Sultanate period. The Guptas ruled much earlier (4th-6th century AD), Mughals came later (1526-1857 AD), and Khilji ruled after Mamluks (1290-1320 AD).

The Khilji Dynasty (1290-1320 AD) ruled Delhi during this period, founded by Jalal-ud-din Khilji after the end of the Mamluk dynasty. The most famous ruler was Alauddin Khilji, known for his military conquests and administrative reforms. Duwa Khan, Qutlugh Khwaja, and Targhi were Mongol invaders/leaders who threatened Delhi but were not rulers of the Delhi Sultanate.

The Tughlaq Dynasty ruled Delhi from 1320-1413 AD, founded by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq. Notable rulers included Muhammad bin Tughlaq (known for his eccentric administrative experiments) and Firoz Shah Tughlaq (a great builder). The Sayyid dynasty came later (1414-1451 AD), while Hasan Gangu founded the Bahmani Sultanate in the Deccan, and Amal Allana is a modern theater personality.

The Sayyid Dynasty ruled Delhi from 1414-1451 AD, founded by Khizr Khan after the decline of the Tughlaq dynasty. They were relatively weak rulers who faced internal rebellions and external threats. The Lodhi dynasty succeeded them (1451-1526 AD). Timur (Tamerlane) invaded Delhi in 1398 but was not a ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, and Badaun refers to a region, not a dynasty.

The Mughal Empire was the dominant power in Delhi from 1526 (when Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodi at the First Battle of Panipat) until 1857 (after the Sepoy Mutiny when the British Crown formally took control). While there was a brief interruption (1540-1555) when Sher Shah Suri's Sur dynasty ruled, the Mughals controlled Delhi for the vast majority of this 331-year period, making them the primary rulers of the era.

Following the suppression of the 1857 uprising, the British Crown assumed direct control of India from the East India Company in 1858, initiating the British Raj era which lasted until 1947. Delhi was under British administration during this entire period (1857-1900), with no other ruling power contested this control.

The Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty, specifically the ruler Nagabhata I (also known as Balhara in some historical records), ruled parts of North India including the Delhi region from the 8th-10th centuries. The Balhara rulers were prominent during this period (800-1000 AD) and controlled territory including what is now Delhi.

This is a keyboard pattern puzzle. Looking at a QWERTY keyboard, the sequence T-Y-U-I-O represents consecutive letters along the top row from left to right. The next letter in this pattern would be P, completing the top row sequence.

South Africa uniquely has three capital cities: Cape Town (legislative capital, where Parliament sits), Pretoria (executive capital, seat of government), and Bloemfontein (judicial capital, seat of the Supreme Court of Appeal). Johannesburg, while South Africa's largest city, is not a capital.

Montevideo is the capital and largest city of Uruguay, located on the southern coast of the country. Panama's capital is Panama City (Option A), Asuncion is the capital of Paraguay (Option C), and 'Polarado' appears to be a fictional or misspelled option.

Kyoto was the imperial capital of Japan for over a thousand years (794-1868) before the capital was moved to Tokyo (then called Edo) during the Meiji Restoration. Yokohama and Osaka are major cities but were never imperial capitals. Tokyo is the current capital, not the former one.

Philadelphia served as the temporary capital of the United States during and after the Revolutionary War (1790-1800) before the permanent capital was established in Washington D.C. in 1800. New York was also an earlier capital (1785-1790), but Philadelphia immediately preceded Washington D.C. LA and Chicago were never capitals.

In DotA Allstars, Goblin Techies' 'Remote Mines' ability provided one of the longest single-target stun durations in the game when fully leveled. The stun duration could reach approximately 6 seconds at level 3, which was exceptionally long compared to most hero abilities. This made Techies feared for their ability to lock down key targets for extended periods, especially when combined with their massive area damage potential.

The Syllabear (Lone Druid), Venomancer, and Lich combination was indeed one of the most effective level-1 Roshan killing strategies in DotA Allstars. Syllabear's Spirit Bear could tank Roshan's damage effectively, Venomancer's poison wards provided sustained damage output, and Lich's Frost Blast dealt area damage while slowing Roshan. This combo utilized each hero's level 1 strengths optimally for the unconventional Roshan attempt.

Anub'seran, the Nerubian Weaver, had several key abilities. Shukuchi was his iconic windwalk ability that provided invisibility and bonus movement speed, allowing for quick positioning. Timelapse was his ultimate that could heal him and restore his position to a previous state. 'Watchers' and 'Windwalk' were not actual abilities of Weaver - Watchers was a different hero's ability, and Windwalk was the generic term for invisibility skills like Shukuchi.

In DotA's orb effect system, Diffusal Blade's purge and Frost Arrow's slow were classic orb effects that did not stack with other orbs. Manta Style did not have an orb effect - it was a unique item based on illusions. Feast (Naix's lifesteal) was a unique attack modifier, not an orb effect in the traditional sense, meaning it could stack with certain other effects. Orb effects were a complex but important game mechanic.
