The Mughals were descendants of two great lineages of rulers. From their mother‚¬„¢s side, they were descendants of Genghis Khan, the Mongol ruler who ruled over parts of China and Central Asia. From their father‚¬„¢s side, they were the successors of Taimur, the ruler of Iran, Iraq, and modern-day Turkey. Mughals followed the custom of coparcenary inheritance or a division of the inheritance amongst all the sons i. e. , the whole empire would be divided among all the sons. But this system resulted in many conflicts and rebellions within the family. Hence, Option 2 is the correct answer. Additional InformationCoparcenary: According to this, Empire is divided equally amongst all sons of a king. It can bring peace in the kingdom since there are no wars of inheritance. But it weakens the kingdom by dividing a big one into pieces so can provoke enemies to attack and can lead to spoil the rich diversity of a big kingdom. Primogeniture: It can make the eldest son inherit his father‚¬„¢s estate. Since all brothers have to listen to their eldest brother might make the empire so powerful as the unity is strength. But at the same time, it might anger the younger brothers and might lead to disintegration of the kingdom.
