How many shrutis are there for Pancham-swaras of Madhyam Grama ?

Correct option is A

Correct Option-b)
In the ancient Shruti (microtonal) theory of Bharata's Natyashastra, two primary musical scales (Grama) are described: Shadja Grama and Madhyam Grama. Each of the seven Swaras (notes) in these scales is positioned at a specific interval defined by a precise number of Shrutis (the smallest perceivable pitch difference).
Information Booster:
· The Pancham ‘Pa’ in the Madhyam Grama is assigned 3 Shrutis.
· According to Bharata's foundational text, the Natyashastra, the intervallic structure of the Madhyam Grama from Sa is as follows: Ma-13, Pa-16, Dha-20, Ni-22, Sa'-2, Re'-7, Ga'-9.
· The count of Shrutis for a swara is the cumulative number from Sa. Therefore, Pancham (Pa) occupies the 16th Shruti position.
Additional Knowledge:
· 3 Shrutis is the interval for some other Swaras in different contexts, like Re in both Gramas.
· 5 Shrutis is not the interval for Pa in either Grama.
