The first ruler of Magadha Mahajanapadas in the sixth century BC was-

  • A.Mahavira
  • B.Prasenjit
  • C.Bimbisara
  • D.Ajatashatru

Answer: C

The keyed ruler is Bimbisara.

Bimbisara of the Haryanka dynasty is regarded as the first important ruler of Magadha in the sixth century BC. He strengthened the kingdom through marriage alliances and the conquest of Anga, with Rajagriha as his capital, and was a contemporary of the Buddha.

Ajatashatru was his son and successor, who extended Magadha's power further. Prasenjit was the king of Kosala, a rival mahajanapada, and Mahavira was the twenty-fourth Jain tirthankara, not a king.
