Solution

The correct option is C 1, 2 and 3
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->

The Vijayanagar state was a war state because it was perpetually in a state of war. This was because of the rivalry with the Bahamanis and the expansionary state policy. The ruler gained legitimacy using the cult of the king and several temples contain the images of the king and the queen.

The Vijayanagar administration combined the elements of erstwhile kingdoms of South India including the Cholas, the Western Chalukyas and the Hoysalas. The provincial divisions including Rajyas, Bhuktis, Nadus, etc. was derived from the Chola system.
