Solution

The correct option is A

1383 BC


Year in which Queen Nefertiti ruled = Year in which Turks ruled - 2900 yr
= (1517 AD) - 2900

For any two positive numbers, subtracting the larger from the smaller means, taking the negative of the smaller subtracted from the larger.

(x-y) = -(y-x)
= (+ 1517) - 2900 = - (2900 - 1517) [ as (x-y) = -(y-x)]
= -1383 = 1383 BC
Hence, Queen Nefertiti ruled in the year 1383 BC.
