1)टीपूने युद्ध खर्च म्हणून साडेतीन कोटी रुपये इंग्रजांना द्यावेत. / Tipu should give the war expenditure worth three and half crore rupees to the British.
2)टीपूने आपले निम्मे राज्य इंग्रजांना द्यावे. / Tipu should give half of his State to the British.

4)टीपूने तैनाती फौजेचा स्वीकार करावा. / Tipu should accept Subsidiary Alliance.✓ Correct

Under the Treaty of Srirangapatna (1792) ending the Third Anglo-Mysore War, Tipu had to cede half his territory, pay heavy war indemnity, and give sons as hostages, but he did NOT accept the Subsidiary Alliance (which came later with Wellesley in 1799).
