Solution
When Humayun ascended the throne in 1530 A.D., he inherited many difficulties from his father Babur. They were:
- He had to face political instability because the vast empire was not consolidated.
- Empty treasure: The treasury was empty because collection of land revenue was not done in a systematic manner.
- Troublesome relatives: Humayuns ambitious brothers rebelled against him.
- Division of empire into jagirs was another difficulty he had to face.
- The government was not well organised. So Humayun had to difficult task of strengthening his position when he ascended the throne.
- Sher Shah died in AD 1545. Shershah’s successors were weak and inefficient. In 1555 AD, Humayun recovered Delhi and became emperor again.
