Consider the following pairs:
| King | Dynasty |
|---|---|
| 1. Nannuka | Chandela |
| 2. Jayashakti | Paramara |
| 3. Nagabhata II | Gurjara-Pratihara |
| 4. Bhoja | Rashtrakuta |
How many pairs given above are correctly matched?
Correct Answer :
Only two pairs
Solution :
The correct option is Only two pairs.
Let us analyze each pair individually to determine whether the King is correctly matched with their Dynasty:
1. Nannuka – Chandela: This pair is correctly matched. Nannuka (r. c. 831–845 CE) was the founder of the Chandela dynasty of Jejakabhukti (located in the modern Bundelkhand region).
2. Jayashakti – Paramara: This pair is incorrectly matched. Jayashakti (also known as Jeja) was an early ruler of the Chandela dynasty, not the Paramara dynasty. The Chandela territory of Jejakabhukti was named after him.
3. Nagabhata II – Gurjara-Pratihara: This pair is correctly matched. Nagabhata II (r. c. 805–833 CE) was a powerful emperor of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty who successfully rebuilt the famous Somnath Temple in Gujarat.
4. Bhoja – Rashtrakuta: This pair is incorrectly matched. Mihira Bhoja (or Bhoja I) was a renowned ruler of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty, while King Bhoja of Dhar was a famous ruler of the Paramara dynasty. Neither of these famous kings belonged to the Rashtrakuta dynasty.
Thus, only two of the given pairs (1 and 3) are correctly matched.
