Q. Who among the following annexed Anga to Magadha?
Answer: Bimbisara
Notes: Bimbisara, the founder of the Haryanka Dynasty, annexed Anga to Magadha. Bimbisara was one of the first kings of the Indian kingdom of Magadha. His expansion of the kingdom, especially the annexation of Anga, is considered to have laid the foundations for the later expansion of the Mauryan empire. Bimbisara killed Brahmadatta, the last free ruler of Anga, in the middle of the 6th century. The annexation of Anga added the river Champa to the Magadha Empire. Champa was important for trade with South-East Asia and Sri Lanka. Bimbisara was succeeded on the throne by his son Ajatashatru.
