विधानांचे व्याकरणिक विश्लेषण:
•
(a) चूक आहे: 'He is senior than you...' - लॅटिन तुलनात्मक विशेषणांनंतर (Senior, Junior, Superior, Inferior, Prior, Preferable) 'than' न वापरता 'to' वापरले जाते. (योग्य: *He is senior to you by two years.*)
•
(b) बरोबर आहे: 'This calf is older than that.' - तुलना करण्यासाठी 'older than' चा योग्य वापर केला आहे.
•
(c) बरोबर आहे: 'He has greater popularity than any other leader.' - तुलनात्मक श्रेणीत (Comparative degree) इतर सर्वांपेक्षा तुलना करताना 'any other' चा अचूक वापर झाला आहे.
•
त्यामुळे केवळ विधाने (b) आणि (c) बरोबर आहेत.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option 2 (Only b and c)
Explanation:
•
Analysis of Sentences:
•
(a) Incorrect: "He is senior than you..." Adjectives of Latin origin ending in *-ior* (senior, junior, superior, inferior, prior) are followed by the preposition 'to', never 'than'. (Correct: *He is senior to you by two years.*)
•
(b) Correct: "This calf is older than that." Regular comparative degree using 'older than' is grammatically sound.
•
(c) Correct: "He has greater popularity than any other leader." The comparative construction with 'than any other' correctly excludes the subject from the group.
•
Therefore, only b and c are correct.
