Who among the following made an offer to Humayun that he would surrender Bihar and pay an annual tribute of 10 lakh dinars if he was allowed to retain Bengal?
Detailed Explanation:
Sher Khan (later Sher Shah Suri) made an offer to Humayun in 1538 to surrender Bihar and pay an annual tribute of 10 lakh dinars if allowed to retain Bengal.
Humayun rejected this offer and instead chose to besiege Chunar Fort, which gave Sher Khan crucial time to consolidate his power in Bengal and Bihar, ultimately leading to his victory over Humayun at the Battle of Chausa (1539) and Battle of Kannauj (1540).
