Brahmagupta (7th century Indian mathematician) provided the general solution to linear equations and discovered the formula for the area of a cyclic quadrilateral with sides a, b, c, d. The other options are incorrect: Matanga Muni dealt with music theory, Aryabhatiya refers to Aryabhata's work (who lived earlier), and Archimedes was Greek and worked on different areas of mathematics.
