Baghdad was founded in 762 CE and sacked by the Mongols in 1258. How many years passed between the two events?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 496 years
- Step 1: Subtract the dates: 1258 - 762 = 496. Answer: 496 years. Why not the others: 476 and 516 are slips of 20 years, and 504 comes from adding the digits wrongly.
