Question

Empires are huge kingdoms, and they need more resources to work smoothly. The Mauryan empire was divided into many parts, and each part was ruled differently, but Pataliputra was under the direct control of the emperor. Officials were given salaries and were appointed to collect taxes from farmers, herders, crafts persons and traders across the empire. How were the officials supervised?

1.they were given a diary to record their own frauds
2.with the help of travelling messengers and spies
3.through CCTV cameras
4.all of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

option 2

Explanation:

it is common sense that CCTV cameras did not exist at that era.

since option 3 is wrong so, option 4 cannot be true either

giving a diary is totally foolish as no person would genuinely write his frauds in it ... by observation option 2 is the correct answer. sometimes we should answer based on our IQ rather than mugging up the concept
