d) Karan was born in 900 BCE and Divya was born in 1200 BCE. Who is the older of the
two and why?
Answers
Answer:
Karan is elder than Divya.
If you are familiar with the integer number line, then you must have noted that numbers to the left of '0' are negative and to its right are positive. Then sticking to this principle, the years labelled as BC or BCE are just like the negative numbers on the number line and the years labelled as AD o CE are just like the positive numbers on the number line.
In the case of the negative numbers, the numbers which may seem smaller (for example, -1) than those who seem greater (for example, -10) are greater. In other words, numbers closer to the zero on the left side are greater than those who are farther.
Coming back to the point, since 900 BCE seems most close to 1 AD (Since the year '0' does not exist in the ANNO Domini system or other), Karan is elder than Divya.
Hope, this helps. If so, then please mark it as the brainliest.
