Choose the Tala of 10 beats —
(a) Aditala
(b) Sooltala
(c) Jhaptala
(d) Rupak
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (a) & (b)
• (b) & (c)
• (c) & (d)
• (b) & (a)

Hint:

10 beats → Jhaptala + Sooltala → Not Aditala, Rupak.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Aditala: An 8-beat South Indian Carnatic tala (incorrectly stated as 10 beats).
Sooltala: A 10-beat North Indian tala used in instrumental and dance music.
Jhaptala: A 10-beat tala (2+3+2+3) prominent in Hindustani classical tabla.
Rupak: A 7-beat tala (incorrectly stated as 10 beats).
Therefore, Sooltala and Jhaptala are the correct pair of 10-beat talas.
