Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Even though Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, only succeeded in completing the Qutab Minar's basement, it had already begun to take shape when he started working on it in 1200 AD. Three more floors were built by Iltutmush, his successor, and the fifth and last floor was added in 1368 by Firoz Shah Tughlak. It has a height of 73 metres, Qutub Minar is one of India's tallest minarets. The first Islamic building in India with both Arabic and Brahmi inscriptions is this minaret, which dates to the 12th century. The Qutb Minar, also known as Qutub Minar or Qutab Minar, is a "victory tower" and minaret that is a component of the Qutb complex. The Qutb complex is currently located in the Lal Kot walled city, which was established by the Tomar Rajputs and is the oldest of its sort in Delhi. It is situated in the Mehrauli neighbourhood of South Delhi, India, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
