Explanation
★The statements that were NOT terms are 2, 4 and 5 only, and the examining body starred this defective item.
★Muhammad Azam and Jai Singh signed a treaty on 24 June 1681.
★Jai Singh ceded Pur, Mandal and Badnor parganas to the Mughals to avoid the jizya tax, and he was given a mansab of 5000, so the first and third statements were genuine terms.
★The jizya was not imposed in his kingdom in lieu, so the second statement was not a term.
★He was not denied recognition as Rana of Marwar in these terms, and he was not given a mansab of 7000, so the fourth and fifth statements were not terms.
★This treaty also bound the Mughals not to interfere in Mewar's internal affairs.
