In the context of the history of India, consider the following pairs:

Term	Description
1. Eripatti	Land, revenue from which was set apart for the maintenance of the village tank
2. Taniyurs	Villages donated to a single Brahmin or a group of Brahmins
3. Ghatikas	Colleges generally attached to the temples

Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?

1 and 2
3 only
2 and 3
1 and 3

Answer

1 and 3

The prompt as provided is incomplete: the actual term-description pairs are missing, so a fresh factual verification of each item is not possible from the given text alone. Since you state the official UPSC answer key gives (d), I update the derived answer to (d). Disclaimer: this is based on the official key, not on independent re-analysis of the missing pairs; if the full pairs are shared, I can verify each one item-wise.
