Solution

The correct option is D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

The Chola Empire was divided into Mandalams (provinces). The province was further divided into Valanadus (districts).

At the local level, the tax on land was collected by the village assemblies. These assemblies were responsible for maintaining tanks used for agricultural prosperity.

There were three types of village assemblies. These were the Ur, Sabha or Mahasabha and Nagaram.

  • Ur was an assembly of common villagers.
  • Sabha was an assembly of learned Brahmins.
  • Nagaram was an assembly of merchants, traders and artisans.
