Reckless grants of jagirs and promotions  <br\/>\n<strong>Explanation:<\/strong> During Bahadur Shah\u2019s reign, the financial condition of the Mughal Empire deteriorated sharply. A key factor was his reckless distribution of jagirs (land grants) and promotions, which were not backed by sufficient revenue. This drained the royal treasury, which had around 13 crore rupees in 1707, leading to financial instability and weakening of the central administration. <br\/>\nWhile foreign invasions (like Nadir Shah in 1739 or Ahmad Shah Abdali later) did heavily damage the Mughal economy, they occurred after Bahadur Shah\u2019s reign, not during it. <br\/>\n\n-Bahadur Shah ruled from 1707 to 1712.<br\/>\n\n-The major invasions that devastated the economy began after his death, especially under Muhammad Shah.<br\/>\n\nThus, foreign invasions were not a significant cause of financial trouble during Bahadur Shah\u2019s reign specifically.<br\/>\nRevenue farming (ijarah) became more common and problematic under later rulers, especially during the time of Zulfiqar Khan and the Saiyid brothers.<br\/>\n\n-Bahadur Shah\u2019s reign saw some administrative decline, but ijarah was not the dominant issue at that time.<br\/>\n\n-His problems were more about uncontrolled jagir distribution, not the revenue collection methods.<br\/>\n\nSo, while revenue farming eventually became a serious issue, it wasn&#8217;t a primary cause during Bahadur Shah\u2019s short reign.<br\/>\nExpansion of trade routes usually has a positive economic impact, increasing commerce and state revenue.<br\/>\n\n-During Bahadur Shah\u2019s time, there\u2019s no major evidence of trade route expansion causing financial strain.<br\/>\n\n-In fact, if trade expanded, it would likely improve finances, not worsen them.<br\/>\n\nHence, this option is factually inaccurate in the context of the Mughal Empire\u2019s decline during Bahadur Shah\u2019s reign\n\n\n<\/p> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q5.
