Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 24

The correct answer is 24.

  • There are 24 branches in the Guhil dynasty of Rajasthan (descendent from Bappa Rawal).
    • But the only descendent of Rahup are Sisodia (the originator) and Rana Hammir (the Proginator of Clan).
  • Hence, option 2 is correct.

  • Guhila dynasty
    • The Guhila dynasty ruled the Medapata (modern Mewar) region in the present-day Rajasthan state of India.
    • The Guhila kings initially ruled as Gurjara-Pratihara vassals between the 8th and 10th centuries, their capitals included Nagahrada (Nagda) and Aghata (Ahar).
      • For this reason, they are also known as the Nagda-Ahar branch of the Guhilas.
    • The Guhilas assumed sovereignty after the decline of the Gurjara-Pratiharas in the 11th century.
      • During the 11th-13th centuries, they were involved in military conflicts with several of their neighbours, including the Paramaras, the Chahamanas, and the Vaghelas.
    • In the mid-12th century, the dynasty divided into two branches:
      • ​The senior branch (whose rulers are called Rawal in the later medieval literature) ruled from Chitrakuta (modern Chittorgarh)., and ended with Ratnasimha's defeat against the Delhi Sultanate at the 1303 Siege of Chittorgarh.
      • The junior branch ruled from Sesoda with the title Rana and gave rise to the Sisodia Rajput dynasty.
