@Archana.
Let us assume that A is the boss and B is his subordinate. Then obviously A is senior to B & B is junior to A. Like wise sentence is"his father is junior to my father" if we compare salary then the statements can be"his father's salary is less than my father's salary". Here salary is a quantity it has a value so we use than and junior senior are the designations so we use "to" to indicate the relationship.

You don't use senior or junior when talking about age. A is the correct answer.

These words present in any sentence like as, SENIOR, JUNI0R. SUPERIOR, INFERIOR etc then use only TO not use THAN.

When there is a comparison and the word that surfaces the comparison ends up with 'or' as in inferi'or', superi'or', seni'or' to is used and not than.

When comparing two objects we use than. Here we use "to because father is a living thing not an object"?

For the comparatives such as.. junior, senior, inferior, superior etc., we use 'to' . All these are the Latin comparatives
