Consider the following dynasties: 1. Hoysala 2. Gahadavala 3. Kakatiya 4. Yadava. How many of the above dynasties established their kingdoms in early eighth century AD?
  1. Only one
  2. Only two
  3. Only three
  4. None

Solution

All four dynasties (Hoysalas, Gahadavalas, Kakatiyas, Yadavas) rose in the 10th-12th centuries CE, not in the early 8th century. Hence none qualifies.
