How many notes are in the Hindustani Classical music?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 7
Hindustani classical music has seven basic notes (swaras), together called the saptak: Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni, short for Shadja, Rishabh, Gandhar, Madhyam, Pancham, Dhaivat and Nishad. Sa and Pa are fixed notes; the other five also have flat (komal) or sharp (tivra) forms, which give twelve notes in an octave.
