Most modern scholars believe that the Satavahana rule began in the late second century BCE and lasted until the early third century CE.

- They ruled from Pune in Maharashtra to Coastal Andhra Pradesh.
- The empire covered the whole of the Deccan and spread far into Northern India, perhaps even as far as Magadha.
- They played the most significant role in Indian history in the period between the fall of the Mauryas and the rise of the Gupta Empire.

Rulers of the Satavahana Dynasty:
* Simuka was the founder of the Satavahana Dynasty, and he is believed to have destroyed the Sunga Power.
* The dynasty reached its zenith under the rule of Gautamiputra Satakarniand his successor Vasisthiputra Pulamavi. 
* Gautamiputra Satakarni received wide recognition because of his policy of military expansion.
* Satakarni carried on expansion through the entire country and became famous during that era as a king of great power and valour.

Decline of the Satavahana Dynasty:
* Till the end of the 2nd century, the Satavahana dynasty expanded from western India to the Krishna deltaand northern Tamil Nadu , but this expansion did not continue for long.
* The Satavahanas Dynasty collapsed when Abhiras seized Maharashtra, and Ikshwakus and Pallavas appropriated the eastern province.
* Their greatest competitors were the Sakas, who had established their power in upper Deccan and Western India. 
* The kingdom had fragmented into smaller states by the early 3rd century CE.

An eight-digit number 1M8196N4 is divisible by both 8 and 11.

What is the value obtained when M and N are multiplied; considering that their sum is less than 10?
Explanation
⬇️
Correct Answer: (b)

For the number 1M8196N4 to be divisible by 8, the number formed by its last three digits i.e., 6N4 needs to be divisible by 8.
This is satisfied only for N = 2 or 6

For the number 1M8196N4 to be divisible by 11, the difference between the sum of digits at odd places and at even places should be 0 or divisible by 11

∴ Required difference = (1 + 8 + 9 + N) – (M + 1 + 6 + 4)
= (N + 18) – (M + 11) = N – M + 7

Case1: WhenN=2; difference=2+7 –M=9–M
Here, the difference cannot be divisible by 11. Hence, it should be zero.

For this; M = 9
In this case, N + M = 2 + 9 = 11
However, this case is invalid as the sum is less than 10.


Case2: WhenN=6;difference=6+7 –M=13–M
Here, the difference cannot be 0 as that would mean that M is 13 (not possible as M is a single- digit).

Hence, the difference has to be a multiple of 11
i.e., 11 itself.
In that case, M = 2 Hence, N + M = 6 + 2 = 8
∴ Required product = 6 × 2 = 12
