Solution
Chandragupta and Chanakya both together became successful to uproot Nandas from Magadha and thus took revenge for their dishonour by Nandas. Under the perfect guidance of Chanakya, Chandragupta was successful to defeat Alexander and Seleucus and conquered the N. W. part of India. Apart from the vast realm along the Ganga basin up to Bengal, he also spread the empire up to the South.
