Answer: (C) Both 1 and 2

Akbar organised the Mughal nobility into ranks called mansabs, with zat and sawar ratings, so statement 1 is correct. Raja Todar Mal, his revenue minister, devised the Dahsala (Zabt) system, which fixed assessment on the basis of the average produce and prices of the previous ten years. Both statements are correct.
