    Consider the following dynasties: 1. Hoysala 2. Gahadavala 3. Kakatiya 4. Yadava How many of the above dynasties established their kingdoms in early eighth century AD?

    1. AOnly one
    2. BOnly two
    3. COnly three
    4. DNone
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    None of the listed dynasties established their kingdoms in the early eighth century AD (701-800 AD).

    1. Hoysala - 1006 AD 2. Gahadavala - 1026 AD 3. Kakatiya - 1000 AD (established as a sub-feudatory, declared independence around the 10th century) 4. Yadava - 850 AD (although some sources suggest a later date)

    Even the earliest of these estimates (Yadava dynasty) falls outside the early eighth-century range. Please note: Early eighth century AD refers to the beginning of the medieval period. At that time, there were 3 major dynasties that established their empires in India - Palas, Pratiharas, Rashtrakutas.
