The eastern limit of Indus civilization was ................... .
Answer: B
The eastern limit was Alamgirpur.
Alamgirpur, on the Hindon river in Meerut district, Uttar Pradesh, is the easternmost site of the mature Harappan civilisation. Its excavation in 1958-59 pushed the known extent of the civilisation into the Ganga-Yamuna doab.
The other options do not fit. Banawali (Haryana) and Ropar (Punjab) are Harappan sites well to the west of Alamgirpur. Chirand, in Bihar, is a Neolithic and Chalcolithic site, not a Harappan one, so it cannot mark the civilisation's limit.
The usual set of extremities to remember: Alamgirpur in the east, Sutkagen Dor in the west, Manda in the north and Daimabad in the south.
