Correct Answer: 2 

The sentence uses ‘than’ incorrectly. ‘Than’ is used as a form of comparison, however, in the sentence, a statement is being made about Rohit’s age and therefore, ‘than’ must be replaced by ‘to’ for the sentence to make sense. The correct sentence is: ‘Rohit is two years junior to Mukesh in the office.’
