EXPLANATION

Correct Option

The Third Mysore War (AD 1790-92) was fought between Tipu Sultan of Mysore and the British East India Company, along with their allies (Marathas and Nizam of Hyderabad). It concluded with the Treaty of Seringapatam, which resulted in significant territorial losses for Mysore.

The First Anglo-Burmese War (AD 1824-26) was a conflict between the British East India Company and the Konbaung dynasty of Burma. It ended with the Treaty of Yandabo, leading to British annexation of Assam, Manipur, Arakan, and Tenasserim.

Incorrect Options

The First Anglo-Maratha War was fought from AD 1775-82, not AD 1767-69. This conflict concluded with the Treaty of Salbai in 1782.

The Second Sikh War took place from AD 1848-49, not AD 1845-46. The period AD 1845-46 corresponds to the First Anglo-Sikh War.
