Question

A person was born in
2000 and he died in
1997. How is this
possible??​

Answer 1

Answer:

here, 2000 and 1997 are clearly not the birth years as it is not mentioned in the question. So, 2000 and 1997 are room numbers in a hospital and there, A person was born in ward/room 2000, and died in ward/room 1197

Answer 2

Answer:

Because two Calendar Years got mixed up. You think that we have 2018. However there are cultures using other calendar systems than the Gregorian Calendar and thus count in different years.

a) According to the Hindu Vikram  the year now is 2074 (plus 56 years to Gregorian Calendar)

b) The Ethiopian Calendar thinks we have 2010 (minus 8 years compared with the Gregorian calendar)

Imagine he was born in the year 2000 of the Vikram , which is 1997 according to our time calculation.

He died in the year 1996 of the Ethiopian calendar, which is our year 2004, at the age of 60.

Another possibility is that he was born 2000 BC (before Christ) and died 1996 BC, because apparently one counts backwards when referring to something before the beginning of our so called “Christian Era”. However according to this he would hardly have been called a man, dying at the tender age of four, even though back then few children made it into adulthood
