Question

What caused the downfall of the Nanda Dynasty?

• A. The bravery of Chandragupta Maurya
• B. Chanakya's insult by the Nanda rulers
• C. The attack by the Greek invader
• D. Chanakya's cleverness, foresightedness and determination.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Chanakya's insult by the Nanda rulers

Option B is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the passage that - 'There is a legend that Chanakya was once invited to the court of the Nanda rulers of Magadha where he was insulted. Chanakya took a vow to cause the downfall of the Nanda Dynasty.'

There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options A, C, and D are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.
