Options

(1) All are true
(2) Only 1 is false
(3) All are false
(4) Only 3 is true
Answer: (2) Only 1 is false

Explanation:
Statement 1 is false: The Koti state (along with Bhajji) in the Shimla hills was founded by descendants of the Kutlehar state — NOT the Guler state as mentioned. Statement 2 is correct: Balsan was indeed an offshoot of the ancient Sirmaur principality. Statement 3 is correct: Dhami state was founded by descendants of Prithviraj Chauhan (the Rajput Chauhan lineage). Statement 4 is correct: The founder of Darkoti state, Durga Singh, belonged to the Jaipur/Marwar Rajput house. Hence only statement 1 is false.
