Read the following passage and answer the questions.

"The next important notion about the king was that he was the servant of the people. An early Dhārmsūtra writer observes that the king is really a servant, the $16 \%$ tax being his wage. Kautilya at one place points out how the king was on the same footing as his soldiers, both receiving their different wages and both being entitled to share the assets of the nation. Narada also regards the taxation as the king's pay for the protection of his people. No one ever makes a payment, says Aparārka, without expecting a return; the taxes therefore are paid only as a return for the protection expected from the king. Since the people pay him the proper wage, the king must serve them as a servant, nay even as a slave. This is of course a hyperbolic statement; the reality is hinted by Sukra when he describes the king both as a master and a servant of the people."
