Question

If you are reading the traveller's accounts, which of the following would be of Al-Biruni:

Answer 1

Step 1: Eliminate the mismatched titles: 'Rihla' is the travelogue of Ibn Battuta, not Al-Biruni. 'Travels in the Mughal Empire' describes accounts by later European travellers (like Bernier), centuries after Al-Biruni (who predates the Mughals).

Step 2: Confirm the correct title: Al-Biruni's own title for his work, as it survives, is Kitab-ul-Hind.

Final Answer: (B) Kitab-ul-Hind.
