Which of the following is true about Mahajanapadas?
They had capital cities.
Most were fortified.
They had no standing armies.
Correct Answer: A — Only 1 and 2
Mahajanapadas were ancient Indian kingdoms or republics that had capital cities as administrative and political centers, and most were fortified to protect against invasions. Statement 3 is false — while smaller Mahajanapadas may have relied on temporary levies, larger and more powerful ones did maintain standing armies.
