Detailed Solution

Qutab-ud-din Aibak constructed the first floor of Qutub Minar.
Even though Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim king of Delhi, only succeeded in finishing the basement of the Qutab Minar, it was already under construction when he began work on it in 1200 AD. Iltutmush, his successor, constructed three more levels, and Firoz Shah Tughlak added the fifth and final floor in 1368. Qutub Minar is one of India's highest minarets, at 73 metres high. This minaret, which is from the 12th century, is the first Islamic structure in India to have both Arabic and Brahmi inscriptions. A "victory tower" and minaret, the Qutb Minar is a part of the Qutb complex and is also referred to as Qutub Minar and Qutub Minar. The Tomar Rajputs built the Lal Kot walled city, the oldest of its kind in Delhi, which is where the Qutb complex now stands. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and can be found in India's South Delhi neighbourhood of Mehrauli.
