Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A(चांदी, तांबा)
सल्तनत काल के प्रमुख सिक्कों में:
- टंका (Tanka): चाँदी (Silver)
- शशगनी (Shashgani): चाँदी का 6 जीतल मूल्य का सिक्का, जिसे फिरोज शाह तुगलक ने चलाया (Silver)
- जीतल (Jital): ताँबा (Copper)
अतः ये सिक्के 'चाँदी एवं ताँबा' (Silver and Copper) धातुओं के बने थे।
Among the premier currencies of the Sultanate period:
- Tanka: Pure Silver
- Shashgani: Silver coin worth six Jitals introduced by Firoz Shah Tughlaq
- Jital: Pure Copper
Thus, these coins were composed of 'Silver and Copper' (option a).
