💡 Analysis & Explanation
Pair 1 Analysis ▼
Correct. Nannuka is historically documented as the pioneering founder and the very first ruling monarch of the illustrious Chandela dynasty of the Jejakabhukti region.
Pair 2 Analysis ▼
Incorrect. Jayashakti was an extremely prominent and powerful ruler who gave the region 'Jejakabhukti' its name, but he belonged strictly to the Chandela dynasty, not the Paramaras.
Pair 3 Analysis ▼
Correct. Nagabhata II was one of the most formidable and militarily successful emperors of the vast Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty, deeply involved in the tripartite struggle for Kannauj.
Pair 4 Analysis ▼
Incorrect. King Bhoja is universally celebrated as the greatest philosopher-king of the Paramara dynasty of Malwa (or alternatively Mihira Bhoja of the Pratiharas), but he is definitively completely disconnected from the Rashtrakuta lineage.
Conclusion ▼
Thus, only two pairs (1 and 3) are historically accurate.
