Q. Who wrote ‘Aryabhattiyam’ Suryasiddhanta’?

(a) Varahamihira

(b) Aryabhatta

(c) Brahma Gupta

(d) Baskara

Ans: (b) Aryabhatta

Explanation: The correct answer is (b) Aryabhatta.

Aryabhattiyam and Suryasiddhanta are two separate works, both associated with the Indian mathematician and astronomer Aryabhatta.

1. Aryabhattiyam: Aryabhattiyam is a mathematical treatise written by Aryabhatta. It consists of 108 verses and covers various mathematical concepts, including arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, and astronomy. It is considered one of the foundational texts in Indian mathematics.

2. Suryasiddhanta: Suryasiddhanta is an ancient Hindu text on astronomy. Although it predates Aryabhatta, it is often attributed to him. Suryasiddhanta contains information on planetary motion, eclipses, and calculations related to the positions of celestial bodies.

So, Aryabhatta is associated with both Aryabhattiyam and Suryasiddhanta.
