Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C (2 and 3)

वर्द्धमान महावीर की माता त्रिशला या विदेहदत्ता वैशाली के लिच्छवी कुल के प्रमुख चेटक की बहन थीं, न कि पुत्री। इसी कारण मातृपक्ष से वह मगध के हर्यंक शासक बिंबिसार तथा अजातशत्रु के निकट संबंधी थे। द्वितीय कथन सही है। 23 वें तीर्थंकर पार्श्वनाथ का जन्म वाराणसी (बनारस) में भगवान महावीर से लगभग 250 वर्ष पूर्व हुआ था। इस प्रकार विकल्प (c) सही उत्तर है।

Mahavira was born in 599 BC in a village named Kundagram near Vaishali in Bihar. Mahavira’s original name was Vardhamana. His father Siddhartha was the head of the Gyatrika Kshatriya clan under Vajji of Vaishali and his mother Trishala was the sister of Chetaka, the king of Lichchhavi. Mahavira was also related to Bimbisara, the ruler of Magadha who married Chellana, the daughter of Chetaka. Lord Gautam Buddha’s mother Maya, Suddhodana’s wife, was a Koliya princess. Parshvanatha was born to King Aswasena and Queen Vama of Varanasi.
