Tamilakam King Dynasty Analysis

This question requires identifying the incorrectly matched pairs of early historical Tamil kings and their dynasties.

Analyzing the King-Dynasty Pairs

  • Pair 1: Senguttuvan : Chera
    King Senguttuvan, known for his expeditions mentioned in Sangam literature, was a famous ruler of the Chera dynasty. Thus, this match is correct.
  • Pair 2: Udiyanjeral : Chola
    Udiyanjeral is documented as a prominent king of the Chera dynasty. The provided match lists him under the Chola dynasty, which is incorrect.
  • Pair 3: Nedunjeliyan : Pandya
    Nedunjeliyan, often referred to as Kadal-purai-koattu Nedunjeliyan or Talaiyanganattu Cheruventa Nedunjeliyan, was a notable ruler of the Pandya dynasty. This match is correct.

Identifying the Incorrect Match

From the analysis, only the second pair (Udiyanjeral : Chola) is incorrectly matched, as Udiyanjeral belonged to the Chera dynasty.

Therefore, the correct selection is '2 only'.
