I believe that such timelines will be very helpful to students. They might not help you in deriving the right answer, but they will certainly eliminate a lot of options. To be honest, I do not think that many people are even capable of remembering the founding years of so many companies. I try to have a rough idea about the founding dates with respect to significant events, like the world wars in case of global companies, and our independence in case of Indian companies. Such a tactic has helped me make logical guesses to a large number of questions.
2. I believe that such timelines will be very helpful to
both students and quizzers. They might not help you
in deriving the right answer, but they will certainly
eliminate a lot of options. To be honest, I do not
think that many people are even capable of
remembering the founding years of so many
companies. I try to have a rough idea about the
founding dates with respect to significant events, like
the world wars in case of global companies, and our
independence in case of Indian companies. Such a
tactic has helped me make logical guesses to a large
number of questions. I hope it works for you as well.
Best of luck!
