-
- Rational number system
- Constants of equilateral triangle
- Irrational number system
- Constants of right angled isosceles triangle
Correct Option: A
Proportioning is based on rational number system, as the landscape garden is arranged into a char-bagh or quadrants, each of which can be further sub-divided into sub-quadrants, so every quadrant can be expressed as a rational or a fraction 1/n, where n is the total number of quadrants. Example, the garden is broadly divided into four quadrants to start with (1/4), each of which are again divided into four quadrants, therefore that one quadrant can be expressed as 1/(4 × 4) = 1/16, each fur ther divided int o quadrant s, i.e., 1/(16 × 16) = 1/256, as seen in the Mughal Gardens of the Taj Mahal complex.
