Solution(By Examveda Team)

The Persian 'Hindustan', and the Latin 'India', are both derived from the old-Persian term 'Hindu'. Hindu is Persian for Sindhu, the name for the Indus River in ancient Sanskrit. Hindustan became a commonly used term to refer to the Mughal Empire, comprising primarily of north India, prior to British rule.
