On a timeline, which date would come first if you were to read if from left (oldest) to right (newest)?

•1885-1962
•1900s

This is tricky, so I’m taking a wild guess here. When you say 1900s, you are referring to after that specific year. My best guess would be that the 1900s comes first since the year 1885, is only five years away. Is there anymore information on this question, it might help giving you a better answer.
