I don't get the answer. He was looked after by his aunt. But was itself is past then again looked that's also past. Help me out friends.

The sentence has no errors. The first sentence only states that Arun was young when his parents expired, but doesn't suggest that he is still young. He can absolutely take care of his aunt who has no children.

@Swapnil.

Its correct. I thought the same. How many arun's there? Friends reply for it.

Nandhini said:   1 decade ago
The answer should be C. Because in that they use had, i.e., she had no children.

Swapnil said:   1 decade ago
Arun's parents died - in this sentence how many arun's are their? it is referring to many arun's to many parent's.

The answer should be c because 'she had no child' seems to be correct.
