Consider the following statements: 1. In the Third Battle of Panipat, Ahmed Shah Abdali defeated Ibrahim Lodi. 2. Tipu Sultan was killed in the Third Anglo Mysore War. 3. Mir Jafar entered in a conspiracy with the English for the defeat of Nawab Siraj-ud-daulah in the Battle of Plassey. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Evaluating historical statements: 1. Statement 1: The Third Battle of Panipat (1761) was fought between the Maratha Empire and the invading Afghan army led by Ahmed Shah Abdali. Abdali defeated the Marathas. Ibrahim Lodi was defeated by Babur in the First Battle of Panipat (1526). So, statement 1 is incorrect. 2. Statement 2: Tipu Sultan was killed during the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1799) while defending his capital Srirangapatna, not in the Third Anglo Mysore War (1790-92). So, statement 2 is incorrect. 3. Statement 3: Mir Jafar, the commander-in-chief of Nawab Siraj-ud-daulah, entered into a conspiracy with the English (led by Robert Clive) leading to the defeat of the Nawab in the Battle of Plassey (1757). So, statement 3 is correct. Therefore, only statement 3 is correct.
