Solution
The correct option is C A is true but R is false. Punjab was not always known as Punjab. It had multiple names in the past. For instance, in the vedic literature it was known as Saptha Sindhu or the land of seven rivers. Taki was another name Punjab once had. It got this name from the powerful tribe of Taki that inhabited the land of Punjab in the past.
