Which of the following, according to Kautilya, are the principles of good governance for a king ?
1. Merging individuality with duties.
2. Leading a disciplined life with a code of conduct.
3. Maintaining law and order.
4. Replacing bad ministers by lekhaks (writers).
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Duty, disciplined conduct and law and order support good government; replacing ministers indiscriminately with writers is not the principle. Thus, only the statement combination 1, 2 and 3 satisfies the requirement of the question, whereas the other combinations (1, 2 and 4, 2, 3 and 4, and 1, 2, 3 and 4) either include inaccurate propositions or omit valid ones.
