Consider the following pairs :

King Dynasty

  1. 1.Nannuka Chandela
  2. 2.Jayashakti Paramara
  3. 3.Nagabhata II Gurjara-Pratihara
  4. 4.Bhoja Rashtrakuta

How many pairs given above are correctly matched?

  1. A.Only one pair
  2. B.Only two pairs
  3. C.Only three pairs
  4. D.All four pairs
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: B. Only two pairs

Nannuka founded the Chandela dynasty. Nagabhata II was a prominent Gurjara-Pratihara ruler. Bhoja was a famous Rashtrakuta king, known for his conflicts with the Gurjara-Pratiharas and Palas. Jayashakti is not typically associated with the Paramara dynasty, which had rulers like Vakpati I, Siyaka II, and Bhoja (different from the Rashtrakuta king). Therefore, two of the listed pairs are correctly matched.
