Answer 1

Explanation:

RULERS OF GUPTA PERIOD

The Gupta Empire was an ancient Indian empire existing from the mid-to-late 3rd century CE to 543 CE. At its zenith, from approximately 319 to 467 CE, it covered much of the Indian subcontinent.[3] This period is considered as the Golden Age of India by some historians.[4][note 1] The ruling dynasty of the empire was founded by the king Sri Gupta; the most notable rulers of the dynasty were Chandragupta I, Samudragupta, and Chandragupta II alias Vikramaditya. The 5th-century CE Sanskrit poet Kalidasa credits the Guptas with having conquered about twenty-one kingdoms, both in and outside India, including the kingdoms of Parasikas, the Hunas, the Kambojas, tribes located in the west and east Oxus valleys, the Kinnaras, Kiratas.

RULERS OF MAURIYAN PERIOD

Three Great Emperors

In 326 BCE, Alexander the Great crashed into India in his quest for world domination. He found a collection of small and large states ruled by independent kings and governors. Although he never progressed further than India's northwest corner (Alexander died in 323 BCE), his presence was enough to upset India's proverbial apple cart and make way for the rise of a powerful new Indian dynasty. That dynasty was waiting in the wings in the person of Chandragupta Maurya, who knew an opportunity when he saw one and reached out to grasp it.

Chandragupta was the ruler of the Magadha region in the northeast, but with the help of his shrewd political adviser, Kautilya, he marched across India, drove Alexander's successors out of the region, and established his domain in 321 BCE. Soon, he was the emperor of nearly five million square miles of land and between 50 and 60 million people. Chandragupta's son, Bindusara, ascended to the throne in 298 BCE and reigned until 272. During this time, he extended the empire even further, taking the lands of central India. Even areas not under his direct control paid him tribute. Even this, however, was not quite enough for the next emperor, Bindusara's son, Ashoka, who reigned from 272 to 232 BCE.
