Explanation:

Later, Hyper Ali died a natural death and Tipu Sultan was martyred in the fourth war of Mysore against British forces in the battlefield at srirangapuram, Mysore, India. There are multiple reasons for his defeat, as his own ministers betrayed him: Nawab of Arcot, Maharanis of Mysore, Nizam of Hyderabad supported British forces against Tipu Sultan and Maratha forces fought against him too.
