Answer:
(i) In trabeate style of architecture, roofs, doors and windows were made by placing a horizontal beam across two vertical columns while in arcuate style of architecture, the weight of the superstructure above the doors and windows was sometimes carried by arches.
(ii) Trabeate style of architecture was between the eighth and thirteenth centuries, used in the construction of temples, mosques, tombs and in buildings attached to large stepped wells(baolis) .e.g. Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque, while arcuate style of architecture was prominent from the twelfth century. Limestone cement was increasingly used, which made construction easier and faster. e.g. Alai Darwaza at Delhi.
