Answers: As sidsen said:

1. Occam’s razor the principle named after the friar William of Ockham.

The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as
few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in
the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. Also
known as the “law of succinctness”.

BTW cbse students most definetly studied this in physics in class 8 or 9.

2. The Pythagoras tree is a plane fractal constructed from squares. It is
   named after Pythagoras because each triple of touching squares encloses a
   right triangle, in a configuration traditionally used to depict the
   Pythagorean theorem.

more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras_tree

3. Count the dots and do the maths
   1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 45
   number of coloumns/rows = 3
   45/3 = 15

15

4 9 2 = 15

3 5 7 = 15

8 1 6 = 15
