Brief about the mathematicians in the land of lilliput
Dear Student,
Given below is the answer to your question.
The tiny Lilliputians were excellent mathematicians. They were great mechanics and had lots of machines designed for hauling trees and other heavy things. Using a system of pulleys, they hoisted Gulliver onto one of these machines and tied him to it. 1500 of the Emperor's horses, all of which are about four and a half inches high, dragged Gulliver to the capital city. Then the emperor ordered a bed to be made for Gulliver. By mathematical calculations, 600 beds were used in addition to the relative amount of sheets and pillows of the same calculations. The emperor further ordered 300 tailors to make a new suit for Gulliver. The use of such exact numbers proved that the Lilliputians were excellent mathematicians.
