  1. a.Bimbisara and Ajatasatru
  2. b.Bimbisara and Porus

Answer: (C) Porus and Alexander

The Battle of the Hydaspes (the Jhelum) was fought in 326 BC between Alexander of Macedon and King Porus, whose kingdom lay between the Jhelum and the Chenab. Bimbisara and Ajatashatru were father and son, and Ajatashatru is said to have imprisoned his father to seize the Magadhan throne. Bimbisara lived about two centuries before Porus. Since (C) is correct, 'None of the above' is wrong.
