46. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage. Answer the questions

The Humayun's Tomb was constructed by one of his widow. Today, the tomb complex is entered by a large gate on the West, although in Mughal times the Southern gate was widely used. Upon entering any gate, the centrally situated tomb and its char bagh setting are visible. Each of the four garden plots is further sub­divided by narrower waterways. Based on the char bagh types established in Iran and more fully developed in Babur's own concept of the ideal garden, such formalized and geometrically planned garden settings became standard for all the imperial Mughal Mausolea and for those of many nobles as well. Char bagh gardens long had been associated with paradisaical imagery. But at Humayun's tomb, the association is all more explicit, for the water channels appear to vanish beneath the actual Mausoleum yet reappear in their same straight course on the opposite side. This evokes a Quranic verse which describes rivers flowing beneath gardens of paradise. The Mausoleum is square in plan, 45 metres on a side. Crowned with a white marble bulbous dome and flanking chattris, the tomb sits on a high elevated plinth 99metres per side. Each façade, faced with reds and stones and trimmed with white marble, is nearly identical and meets at chamferred corners. The west, north and east facades are marked by a high central portal flanked on either side by lower wings with deeply recessed niches. The south entrance, probably the main one, consists of lower wings on either side of a high central pishtaq,underneath which is a deeply recessed niche.The seeming simplicity of this tomb's exterior is belied by the interior.
