Question

Write ‘Ninety-Six’ in Roman numerals.
A. XCVI
B. XVII
C. XCV
D. XCVII

Answer 1

Hint: To solve the above question first of all we need to understand the Roman numerals the roman numerical contains the pairs of alphabets which have the defined values.
The Roman numeral of 1 means I,
The Roman numeral of 5 means V,
The Roman numeral of 10 means X,
The Roman numeral of 50 means L,
The Roman numeral of 100 means C,
The Roman numeral of 500 means D,
The Roman numeral of 1000 means M.

Complete step by step answer:
Now,
6=5+1=V+I=VI
90=100-10=C-X=XC
Let us write 96 in the expanded form. Then we know that,
96=90+6
Now, we have to write the roman number of 90 and 6. Then we will add it.
We can write 90 as 90=100-10.
We know that roman number of 100 is C and the roman number of 10 is X.
While adding the roman numbers, the greater number will always be written after and while subtracting the roman number will always be written first.
So, 90=100-110=C-X=XC
6=5+1=VI
Thus, we can write,
96=90+6=XC+VI=XCVI

So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note: The roman numeral of 1=I, 2=II, 3=III, 4=IV, 5=V, 6=VI, 7=VII, 8=VIII, 9=IX, 10=X, 20=XX, 30=XXX, 40=XL, 50=L, 60=LX, 70=LXX, 80=LXXX, 90=XC, 100=C.
Using these roman numerals, we can write roman numbers of any number from 1 to 100 by using addition or subtraction.
While writing the roman numbers we should be very careful while writing because is we write or swipe the words that total change the meaning like we write 4 in roman numbers IV if we swipe this
VI that means in roman 6 see this will change the meaning. So be careful when writing.
And also, when we write a smaller number in front of a bigger number in roman numbers then it will get subtracted like IV in this I is the smaller number 1 and V means 5 this is like 5 – 1 = 4 IV means in roman numbers 4.
And if we write a smaller number after the bigger number then it will get added like VI means in roman numbers 6 V means 5 and I mean 1 5+1=6 VI means 6.
