According to Kautilya, a village is a human settlement having a population of
A
100 to 500
B
100 to 700
C
100 to 800
D
100 to 1000.
Correct Option:
A
Explanation
The intended answer is 100 to 500. In descriptions based on Kautilya's Arthashastra, a village is commonly described in terms of roughly 100 to 500 families or households. Therefore the question's wording as “population” is somewhat simplified. The historical formulation is more accurately understood in terms of families.
