Who among the following invented Zero?

  • A.Aryabhatta
  • B.Varahamihira
  • C.Bhaskara I
  • D.An unknown Indian

Answer: D

It was an unknown Indian.

The Bakhshali manuscript and the Gwalior inscription of 876 show zero as a place-holder and a number, but no individual can be credited with it. Brahmagupta first set out its arithmetic in 628; Aryabhata used the place-value system without a symbol for zero.
