The red sandstone tower of Qutb Minar has _____ meters diameter at its base.
14.32
The correct answer is 14.32.
The Qutb Minar, a red sandstone and marble victory tower in Delhi, has a base diameter of about 14.32 metres.
The tower tapers upward to a diameter of roughly 2.75 metres at the top, and stands about 72.5 metres tall.
Its construction was begun by Qutb-ud-din Aibak around 1199 and completed by his successor Iltutmish, with later repairs by Firoz Shah Tughlaq.
The Qutb Minar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the tallest brick minaret in the world.
The values 16.32, 10.32 and 12.32 do not match the recorded base diameter of the monument, so they are incorrect.
Hence the base diameter of the Qutb Minar's red sandstone tower is 14.32 metres.
