NCERT Class 12 History Chapter 2 Kings, Farmers and Towns Test Mock Test
This free online test covers Chapter 2, Kings, Farmers and Towns, from the NCERT Class 12 Themes in Indian History-I textbook. The 30 questions are written directly from the chapter — definitions, processes, worked examples and the points the book italicises — so a score here tells you how much of the chapter actually stuck, not how well you guess. Each answer carries an explanation that says why the right option is right and why the other three fail, which is where most of the learning happens. Attempt it after your first read of the chapter, then again before the exam. There is no negative marking, and you can review the full solution the moment you submit.

Sample Questions
Q1.James Prinsep, an officer in the mint of the East India Company, is remembered in Indian epigraphy for deciphering:
- AThe Sanskrit prashastis of the Gupta rulers
- BAramaic and Greek, the scripts used in Afghanistan
- CThe Harappan script found on seals
- DBrahmi and Kharosthi, two scripts used in the earliest inscriptions and coins
Q2.How did epigraphists conclude that the inscriptions using the titles devanampiya and piyadassi were issued by Asoka?
- ACoins bearing Asoka's portrait were found alongside every inscription
- BThe Kalinga inscription found in Orissa signs itself with the name Asoka
- CThe name Asoka appears in some other inscriptions that also carry these titles, and all of them match in content, style, language and palaeography
- DBuddhist texts state that only Asoka ever used the Prakrit language
Q3.The decipherment of Kharosthi was made easier than that of Brahmi because:
- AKharosthi manuscripts had continued to be copied down to the nineteenth century
- BKharosthi used far fewer signs than Brahmi did
- CCoins of Indo-Greek kings carried the same royal names in both Greek and Kharosthi, and European scholars could already read Greek
- DKharosthi inscriptions were always accompanied by a Sanskrit translation
