Rule 1: After Preposition we have to use objective pronoun.
Example :
Example :
Difference between ' I ' and ' me '
' I ' is used as asubject , which is do some work.
' me ' is worked as object on which work is going on , so it always used as a object , is a objective noun and used after preposition.

Objective pronoun is used after ' Let '
Examples:
# NOMINATIVE PRONOUN
Rule 3: After 'Than'
When there is any comparison between two , then nominative pronoun is used.
Examples:
fast is a positive degree of adjective proceed and followed by 'as' so this phrase work as comparison so , nominative case applied.
Reflexive Pronoun
# Transitive verbs :
Verbs which requires object after them, those are known as transitive verb.
Example:
Children fly kites.
[here fly acts as transitive verb because children fly doesn't make any sense, So noun is used to complete the sentence Those verbs which always comes along with Pronoun or noun is known as transitive verb]
Birds fly.
[Here fly is not a transitive verb]
Some verb which act as transitive verbs
Example :
We use a reflexive pronoun as object or complement when it refers to the same thing as the subject. The pronouns which are used with transitive verb as a object are known as reflexive pronoun.
Reflexive Pronoun are :
he → himself
her → herself
it → itself
they → themselves
I → myself
you → yourself
we → ourselves
one → oneself
Examples:
[ here , absent is not work as transitive verb , it is used as adjective so reflexive pronoun is not used here]
He prostrated himself before his master , who had come from London after a year.
The officer as well as the assistants absented themselves from the office.[Correct ; himself]
[In the sentence there is ' as well as ' used with which verb is changed to 1st noun or pronoun and here officer , so 'themselves' is changed himself.
* Exception
