Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the year when the bridge was 50 years old, we subtract 50 from 75 (the current age of the bridge in 2001) which gives us 25. Then we subtract 25 from 2001 (the current year) which gives us the year 1976. Therefore, the bridge was 50 years old in 1976. The only answer choice that matches is A) 1951, which is 25 years before 1976.
