Last Updated:

The question focuses on the historical relationship expressed in “Which of the following Harappan sites is located in Pakistan?”. Its value lies in connecting Mohenjodaro with the relevant chronology, institution, patronage, text, region or administrative function.

ADholavira
BMohenjodaro
CLothal
DKalibangan
Correct Answer: MohenjodaroYour Answer: B

Explanation

Mohenjodaro lies in Sindh province of present-day Pakistan. Dholavira is in Gujarat, Lothal is also in Gujarat and Kalibangan is in Rajasthan, India. Mohenjodaro fits that evidence because it matches the specific chronology, agency and function contained in the question. A comparison with the alternatives is useful: Dholavira, Lothal and Kalibangan are genuine historical terms or names, but each belongs to a different office, patron, text, region or sequence. The compact memory link is therefore Mohenjodaro together with the factual context above, not the isolated option letter.

Important Notes

  • Mohenjodaro is linked to the precise agency, chronology or function stated in the question.
  • Do not confuse it with Dholavira, which represents a different historical association.
  • Lothal and Kalibangan should be checked by period and institutional role.
