Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Qutb Minar, sometimes called Qutub Minar and Qutub Minar, is a minaret and "victory tower" that is a component of the Qutb complex. Lal Kot, Delhi's oldest fortified city, was constructed by the Tomar Rajputs, and it is located at the location of the Qutb complex. It is located in South Delhi, India's Mehrauli neighbourhood, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Qutab Minar was under construction when Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, started work on it in 1200 AD, although he was only able to complete the basement. Three more storeys were added by his successor Iltutmush, while the final and fifth floor was built in 1368 by Firoz Shah Tughlak. With a height of 73 metres, Qutub Minar is one of the tallest minarets in India. As the first Islamic building in India having both Arabic and Brahmi inscriptions, this minaret dates to the 12th century.
