The Mauryas

Bimbisara acquried Anga and placed it under the viceroyalty of Ajatashatru at Champa.

Hindukush is the correct answer.

Correct Answer: Rajuka
"Rajukas" were the provincial officials during the Mauryan Administration. Rajuka was the officer for rural areas and Nagara vyavaharika for urban areas. These officials were engaged in clerical and accounting works.

Greek historians and writers referred to Chandragupta Maurya as Sandrocottos in their accounts. This name appears in the writings of Megasthenes, the Greek ambassador to the Mauryan court, and other Greek sources. The other options are either incorrect names or refer to different historical figures - Seleucus Nikator was a Greek ruler who Chandragupta later defeated.

Slavery was indeed a well-established institution during the Mauryan period, as documented in Kautilya's Arthashastra. The text mentions various categories of slaves and regulations regarding their treatment, purchase, and sale. This practice was common in ancient Indian society during this era.

All three statements (A, B, and C) about Chandragupta Maurya are historically accurate. He did embrace Jainism in his later years, abdicated the throne in favor of his son Bindusara, and accompanied the Jain saint Bhadrabahu to South India where he attained Kaivalya through Sallekhana (starvation unto death) at Chandragiri hill, Shravanabelagola.

Correct Answer: Ajatasatru

Ashoka's Rock Edict XIII (RE XIII) specifically mentions his cordial diplomatic relations with five Hellenistic kings - Antiochus II of Syria, Ptolemy II of Egypt, Antigonus Gonatas of Macedonia, Magas of Cyrene, and Alexander of Epirus. This edict is famous for describing the aftermath of the Kalinga war and also documents Ashoka's missionary efforts abroad.

The title 'Devanampriya' meaning 'Beloved of the Gods' was used by both Ashoka and his successor Dasaratha in their inscriptions. Kunala is not historically associated with this title. This epithet appears in several Ashokan edicts and was continued by at least one of his successors.

Alexander crossed the Indus River at Und (also spelled Undi or Ohind) during his Indian campaign. This crossing point was strategically important as it allowed him to enter the Indian subcontinent. Taxila was a major city he later visited, but the actual crossing of the Indus occurred at Und.

Both statements are false. Chanakya (Kautilya) was the prime minister of Chandragupta Maurya, not Ashoka. Ashoka sent Buddhist missions to various regions, but Suvarnagiri was actually a mining center and administrative headquarters mentioned in his edicts, not a destination for religious missions.

Ashoka expressed deep remorse over the massive bloodshed and suffering caused by his conquest of Kalinga in Rock Edict XIII. This edict is particularly significant as it describes his transformation after witnessing the horrors of war and his subsequent adoption of Buddhism and policy of Dhamma (Dharma).
