Upto where did Chandragupta Maurya’s empire extend in the northwest?

(B) Indus river
(C) Satluj river
(D) Hindukush range
Answer: (B) Prior to Chandragupta’s consolidation of power, small regional kingdoms dominated the northwestern Subcontinent, while the Nanda Dynasty dominated the middle and lower basin of the Ganges. After Chandragupta’s conquests, the Maurya Empire extended from Bengal and Assam in the east, to Afghanistan and Balochistan, some parts of the eastern and southeast Iran in the west, to Kashmir and Nepal in the north, and to the Deccan Plateau in the south. The vast empire extended from the Bay of Bengal in the east to the Indus River in the west.
