Ashokan Inscriptions Location Accuracy Check

This question requires verifying the correct geographical locations associated with specific Ashokan inscriptions. We will analyze each pair:

Statement Analysis:

1. Jaugada : Karnataka
Jaugada is a significant Ashokan rock edict site. However, it is located in the state of Odisha, not Karnataka. Therefore, this pair is incorrectly matched.
2. Bahapur : New Delhi
Bahapur is known for housing an Ashokan Minor Rock Edict. This inscription is indeed located in New Delhi. Thus, this pair is correctly matched.
3. Rajula-Mandagiri : Andhra Pradesh
Rajula-Mandagiri is another site with Ashokan Minor Rock Edicts. It is correctly located in the state of Andhra Pradesh (specifically in the Kurnool district). This pair is correctly matched.

Conclusion on Matches:

Pair 1 (Jaugada) is incorrect.
Pair 2 (Bahapur) is correct.
Pair 3 (Rajula-Mandagiri) is correct.

Based on the analysis, only statements 2 and 3 are correctly matched. Therefore, the correct option includes pairs 2 and 3.
