Calculate the number of years between the formation of the Indian National Congress (1885) and the launch of the Non‑Cooperation Movement (1920).
Answer
35 years
The correct answer is 35 years — State the result as the number of years separating the two events.
Step-by-step solution
- Write down the two years: formation of INC = 1885, launch of Non‑Cooperation Movement = 1920.
- Subtract the earlier year from the later year: 1920 − 1885.
- Perform the subtraction: 1920 − 1885 = 35.
- State the result as the number of years separating the two events.
Common mistake: Subtracting the years incorrectly (e.g., 1920 – 1885 = 34) by forgetting to include both end years.
