Q2 B of 21 Page 26

Find out the correct statement

(i) Mangu Khan was the Governor of China.


(ii) Mongol court in China impressed Marco Polo.


(iii) The leader of Red Turbans was Hung Chao.


(iv) Mongols established their rule in China in the name of Yuan dynasty.


Explanation: The Mongol court in China did impress Marco Polo, specially its capital at Beijing. The Mongols did establish their rule in China under the name of the Yuan dynasty. Yuan means “origin of the universe”.


Option (a – i) is incorrect because Mangu Khan, the Great Khan (1252), appointed Kublai Khan Governor of China.


Option (b – ii) is not suitable because, while correct, it does not include option (iv), which is also correct. The reverse goes for option (d – iv), which excludes correct option (ii).


Also, the leader of the Red Turbans (option iii of the question) was Chu Yuan Chang. Hung Chao was a leader during the days of the Tang empire.
