Q. Who was the founder of Gupta dynasty?
(a) SamudraGupta
(b) ChandraGupta I
(c) RamaGupta
(d) Vikramaditya
Ans: (b) ChandraGupta I
Explanation: The correct answer is (b) ChandraGupta I.
ChandraGupta I was the founder of the Gupta dynasty, which ruled over a significant part of ancient India from around the 4th to 6th century CE. ChandraGupta I laid the foundation of the Gupta Empire and established his rule in the Magadha region of present-day Bihar.
Under ChandraGupta I’s reign, the Gupta Empire began to expand and consolidate its power. He was succeeded by his son SamudraGupta, who further expanded the empire and brought it to its zenith. SamudraGupta is known for his military conquests and is often considered one of the greatest rulers of the Gupta dynasty.
While Vikramaditya is a famous title associated with several Gupta emperors, it is not the name of the founder of the Gupta dynasty.
