Buddha was born in 563 BC (BCE) and died in 483 BC (BCE). Was he alive in 500 BC (BCE)? and find his life time. (Source: Compton’s Encyclopedia)
उत्तर
Years in BCC (BCE) are taken as negative integers.
Buddha was born in −563
and died in −483
So he was alive in 500 BC (BCE)
Life time = −483 – (−563)
= −483 + 563
= + 80
Buddha’s life time = 80 years.
