Q. Consider the following pairs:

1. Lothal: Only port-town of the Indus Valley Civilization
2. Kalibangan: First site of ploughed field in the world
3. Dholavira: Site of the longest Indus inscriptions

How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Answer: Only two pairs
Notes: The excavated site of Lothal is recognized as an important port-town of the Indus Valley Civilization, known for its tidal dockyard. However, another port town appears to be Sukta gen Dor so the first statement is incorrect. Kalibangan, located in western Rajasthan, is acknowledged as the first known site of ploughed fields in the world. Dholavira is famous for holding one of the longest inscriptions from the Indus Valley Civilization. Thus, all pairs are correctly matched.
