The original question-specific evidence states: Gujarat correctly answers “Kuntasi is located in which present-day state/province”. The Ancient History location or historical association asked in “Kuntasi is located in which present-day state/province” is identified by Gujarat. The choice Gujarat matches the site, region, country, state, feature, or description required by this question. This evidence connects the required Ancient History fact with its archaeological, geographical, cultural or chronological setting. Harappan evidence must be interpreted from excavated settlements, artefacts, environmental data and comparisons among sites; a single object should not automatically support a wider claim than the evidence permits. The choices Rajasthan, Punjab (Pakistan) and Jammu and Kashmir do not satisfy the same combination of site, feature, river region, crop, craft, discovery, chronology or cultural association. The attribution is presented as an exam-oriented historical identification and should be read within the archaeological context stated in the question. Then compare the chosen answer with the relevant NCERT theme and reject options belonging to another site or category. Replaying that method confirms Gujarat as the keyed response for this Ancient History question. This evidence-led approach strengthens factual recall, chronological caution and option elimination for SSC, Railway, Banking, Defence, State and other competitive examinations.
