Q. Consider the following:

1. Kumarapala
2. Ajayapala
3. Bhima II
4. Mularaja II

Which of the following is the correct chronological order of these rulers from earliest to latest?
Answer: 4 1 2 3
Notes: Mularaja II ascended the throne after Ajayapala, who succeeded Kumarapala, who ruled before him. Kumarapala reigned until 1171-72, followed by Ajayapala until 1176. Mularaja II became king in 1176 but died in 1178, leading to Bhima II's rule, which lasted until 1239. Thus, the correct chronological order is Mularaja II (4), Kumarapala (1), Ajayapala (2), and Bhima II (3). Thus, the correct order is 4 1 2 3.
