Answer:
Only 2 & 3
Notes:
- Bhagawanpura, situated in Kurukshetra district, has revealed a culture in which the Painted Grey Ware (PGW) phase overlaps with the late Harappan phase. Horse bones have been found in layers belonging to this overlap culture dated to 1300–1200 BC.
- Horse bones also appear in the PGW stratum of Hastinapur around the middle of the first millennium BC.
- Several places in northern India reveal terracotta figurines of horses and bulls in the layers of the PGW phase. There is no doubt that the use of the horse and chariot contributed to the spread of the Aryans.
