Pair 3: Nagabhata II was a prominent emperor of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty who ruled in the early 9th century. This pair is correctly matched. 4. Pair 4: The most famous King Bhoja in this period was Raja Bhoja of the Paramara dynasty (early 11th century). Mihira Bhoja was a Gurjara-Pratihara king. Neither was associated with the Rashtrakuta dynasty. This pair is not correctly matched. 5. Therefore, only two pairs (1 and 3) are correctly matched.
