Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect. The reign of Ajatasatru (Son of Bimbisara) was remarkable for his military conquests. He fought against Kosala and Vaishali. His won a great success against a formidable confederacy led by the Lichchavis of Vaishali. This had increased his power and prestige. This war lasted for about sixteen years. It was at this time that Ajatasatru realised the strategic importance of the small village, Pataligrama (future Pataliputra). He fortified it to serve as a convenient base of operations against Vaisali. The immediate successor of Ajatasatru was Udayin. He laid the foundation of the new capital at Pataliputra situated at the confluence of the two rivers, the Ganges and the Son.

Statement 2 is correct. The fame of Magadha scaled new heights under the Nanda dynasty. Their conquests went beyond the boundaries of the Gangetic basin and in North India they carved a well-knit and vast empire. The Puranas speak of the extensive conquests made by Mahapadma. The Hathigumpha inscription of Kharavela of Kalinga refers to the conquest of Kalinga by the Nandas.

Statement 3 is incorrect. Bimbisara (Bindusara was Ashoka’s father) belonged to the Haryanka dynasty. Bimbisara was a contemporary of both Vardhamana Mahavira and Gautama Buddha. However, both religions claim him as their supporter and devotee. He seems to have made numerous gifts to the Buddhist Sangha.
