Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) 1 only
Planned streets, grid layouts and covered drains are the hallmark of Mohenjodaro and Harappa, so statement 1 is correct. The seals commonly show the bull, unicorn, elephant and rhinoceros, but the horse is absent or at best doubtful, which is why it is linked with the later Vedic period. Statement 2 is therefore wrong.
