Question

Which of the following area was known as 'Dakshinapth' in ancient times?

• A. North to Narmada river
• B. South of Vindhya Mountain and Narmada river
• C. Shivalik Hills
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

South of Vindhya Mountain and Narmada river

As is given in the first paragraph of the passage, the south of Vindhya Mountain and Narmada river is known as the 'Dakshinapth'. Therefore option B is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect because the passage doesn't talk about anything in the north of Narmada river.

According to the passage, it was the Sonnian culture that was found in the Shivalik; the passage doesn't state that it was ever the 'Dakshinapth'. Hence option C is incorrect.

Since we have already chosen the correct answer as option B. option D is incorrect as well.
