Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Awadh was ruled by Burhan ul Mulk Shahadat Khan who was appointed as the subedar of Awadh in 1722. Awadh had a distinct geographical feature which made it a prosperous region. It has rich alluvial Ganga soil that can yield a more significant food surplus. The strategic location of Awadh also made it the main trade route between North India and Bengal. The food surplus was also sold at the market centres as it was the main trading centre. The revenue generated was collected by office holders or jagirdars who the Mughals appointed. To reduce the influence of the Mughals, Burhan ul Mulk decreased the number of jagirdars.
The correct statement would be that Awadh was ruled by Burhan ul Mulk.
