Which of the following statements is not true with reference to Magadha?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. The Brahmaputra River and its tributaries provided cheap and convenient means of communication
Magadha's strategic advantage lay in its location within the fertile Gangetic plain. The Ganga River and its major tributaries, such as the Son, Gandak, and Kosi, were the primary waterways that facilitated transportation, trade, and communication for the Magadhan Empire. The Brahmaputra River flows predominantly through North-Eastern India, far from Magadha's heartland in present-day Bihar.
