There were 3.5 lakh soldiers in his army. In such cases, the state treasury could be empty due to excessive expenditure on procurement.

- Government-regulated the price of goods sold in the market.
- Rural settlements expanded under state patronage.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:

The prevalence of silver-struck coins increased in large quantities during this period. Although, most of the circulation took place in the area of Magadha. According to Arthashastra, government officials were paid in cash only. That is why the cash economic system was the cornerstone of the activities of the State.
- The Mauryan period was the period of expansion of trading activities. Therefore, there was an emphasis not only on internal but also foreign trade. For the orderly conduct of business activities, it was necessary to increase the volume of production, for which on a large scale emphasis was laid on the expansion of rural settlements that could be edited into agricultural operations. For this, the forests were cut and cultivable land was developed more and more.
