Explanation
The Second Anglo-Mysore War (1780–1784) was fought between the British and the combined forces of Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan of Mysore, ending with the Treaty of Mangalore (1784). It was not fought against the Marathas alone, the Nizam alone, or the French. Hence the Hyder Ali–Tipu Sultan alliance is correct.
