Answer: Only 1 & 3
Notes: The Indus Valley Civilization used various tools for farming, but there is no concrete evidence that shows the use of a 'Rehat' or Persian wheel. Concrete evidence of the use of plough and sickles comes from various sites such as Kalibangan and Shortugai which belong to the Early Harappan period. Other tools or cultivation techniques used by Harappans remain largely unknown. Gypsum crystals found at Kalibangan might have been used as a fertilizer.
