Official UPSC Answer KeyUPSC Prelims 2022 • Medieval History

Correct Answer: Option (B) — Only two pairs

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified

Pair 1 is correctly matched: Nannuka was the founder of the Chandela dynasty in the early 9th century CE in the Jejakabhukti (Bundelkhand) region.

Pair 2 is incorrectly matched: Jayashakti (Jeja) and Vijayashakti were rulers of the Chandela dynasty, not the Paramara dynasty. The region Jejakabhukti was named after Jayashakti.

Pair 3 is correctly matched: Nagabhata II (c. 793–833 CE) was a prominent ruler of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty who succeeded Vatsaraja.

Pair 4 is incorrectly matched: King Bhoja (Mihira Bhoja) was a renowned ruler of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty, not the Rashtrakuta dynasty. Another famous King Bhoja ruled the Paramara dynasty of Malwa.

Therefore, only two pairs (1 and 3) are correctly matched.
