Answer:

There is an error in the given statement,

The correct one is, Arun is senior to Varun

Explanation:

The usage of "than" in place of "to" when comparing degrees is incorrect in this sentence. We frequently mix up the words "than" and "to."

The error here is that the comparative degree "than" is used instead of "to" . Many a times we get confused between "than" and "to"

The correct form is:

He is senior to me.

REASON —

There are twelve Comparatives in English Language which are borrowed from Latin. They have no Superlative or Positive degree. They end in or.

These can be divided into two parts:

Five of them which have lost their meaning and are thus used as Positive Adjectives:

a) Interior.

b) Exterior.

c) Ulterior.

d) Major.

e) Minor.

Seven of them are used as Comparatives but they take the Preposition to after them:

a) Inferior.

b) Superior.

c) Prior.

d) Anterior.

e)Posterior.

f) Junior.

g) Senior.

Hence, the Adjective senior takes the Preposition to because:

It has originated in Latin.

It is an Adjective used as a Comparative degree.

It ends in "or" like senior
