💡 Solution & Explanation

The First Battle of Panipat was fought between the invading forces of Babur and the last Delhi Sultan, Ibrahim Lodi, resulting in a decisive victory for Babur due to his superior tactical deployment of artillery and cavalry maneuvers. Ibrahim Lodi died fighting on the battlefield, marking the termination of the Lodi dynasty and the Sultanate era. Subsequent battles at Panipat occurred in 1556 and 1761.
