Question

If Ashoka ruled around 272 BC and Chandragupta established the gupta dynasty around AD 50 , calculate the time gap between the reigns of both rulers.​

Answer 1

Ashoka ruled around 272 BC

272 BC = - 272

50 AD = 50

Time gap = Range

Range = Maximum - Minimum

= 50 - (- 272)

= 50 + 272

= 322

Therefore 322 years after Ashoka ruled was the foundation of the Gupta empire
