Question

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : Agora was a part of the towns of 'Indus Valley Civilisation'.
Statement (II) : Towns of 'Indus Valley Civilisation' are laid with road network and sewer lines.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Hint:

The agora belongs to ancient Greek cities, while Indus Valley towns had grid roads and drains.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Statement I: The agora was the open public meeting and market place of ancient Greek city-states, not of the Indus Valley towns (which had features like the Great Bath, granaries and citadels). So Statement I is false.
Statement II: Indus Valley towns such as Mohenjo-daro and Harappa were planned on a grid of roads with well-laid covered drains and sewer lines. So Statement II is true.
Answer: (4) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
