Q50 (CAPF/2025) History & Culture › Medieval India › Medieval regional kingdoms Answer Verified

Consider the following pairs : King Dynasty 1. Lakshmikarna : Pala 2. Bhima I : Chalukyas of Gujarat 3. Jayapala : Shahiya dynasty 4. Lalitaditya Muktapida : Utpala dynasty of Kashmir How many pairs given above are correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correctly matched pairs are 2 and 3. Bhima I was a prominent ruler of the Chalukyas of Gujarat, also known as the Solanki dynasty, who famously allied with the Kalachuris against the Paramaras [1]. Jayapala was a significant ruler of the Hindu Shahiya (or Shahi) dynasty, which governed the Kabul Valley and Gandhara. Pair 1 is incorrect because Lakshmikarna (or Karna) was a powerful king of the Kalachuri dynasty of Tripuri, not the Pala dynasty. Pair 4 is incorrect because Lalitaditya Muktapida belonged to the Karkota dynasty of Kashmir; the Utpala dynasty, founded by Avantivarman, succeeded the Karkota dynasty. Therefore, only two pairs (Bhima I and Jayapala) are correctly matched.
