Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
My father.s age was x in the year `x^2` [Given]
By hit & trial method, `x = 44 `as `44^2 = 1936. `
`because` The square of any other integer will not fall in between 1900 and 2000.
So, my father was 44 in the year 1936
Therefore, my father was born in the year
`= (1936 - 44) = 1892`
