Taking  BC= -1

AD = +1
(a) Given : Starting year =330 BC =(-330)  AD
Ending year =395 AD
Total era = Ending year - starting year

              =395-(-330)

             =395+330=725 years

(b) Given : Born year =1114  AD
Died year =1185 AD
Total Age = 1185 - 1114 

             =71 years

(c) Turks ruled Egypt in the year = 1517 AD

Nefertis ruled Egypt before = 2900 years

Nefertis ruled Egypt = 1517 - 2900 AD

                                 = -1383 AD = 1383 BC

(d) 

Archimedes lived between 287 BC and 212 BC

Aristotle lived between 380 BC and 322 BC.
