RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (20-Jun-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

Allahabad Pillar Inscription

The Allahabad Pillar Inscription, composed by Harishena, is the main source of information about Samudragupta's extensive military achievements.

The Mehrauli Iron Pillar, Junagadh Rock, and Nasik Cave Inscriptions relate to different rulers or periods, not Samudragupta's military campaigns.

Hence, Allahabad Pillar Inscription is the correct answer.
