Which of the following statements is/are true regarding irrigation in India ? a. Firoz Shah Tughlaq constructed Sudarshan Lake. b. Punnya Gupta constructed Western Yamuna Canal.
(a)फिरोज शाह तुघलकने सुदर्शन सरोवर बांधले होते. / Firoz Shah Tughlaq constructed Sudarshan Lake.
(b)पुष्य गुप्तने पश्चिम यमुना कालवा बांधला. / Punnya Gupta constructed Western Yamuna Canal.
Sudarshan Lake was repaired/managed by rulers like Rudradaman and Skandagupta (originally built during Chandragupta Maurya by Pushyagupta), not Firoz Shah Tughlaq. The Western Yamuna Canal was repaired/extended by Firoz Shah Tughlaq, not constructed by Pushyagupta. Hence neither statement is correct.
