a. – (iv)
b. – (v)
c. – (ii)
d. – (vi)
e. – (i)
f. – (iii)
Question 8:
Use the following Roman numerals to form 5 different numerals: X, V, I
Solution:
Five different numerals are: XI, XV, IX, VI, XVI.
Question 9:
Evaluate:
(i) XCII + CXII
(ii) CCXXXIV – CCII
(iii) LVI × XVI
Solution:
(i) XCII = 92 and CXII = 112
Then, 92 + 112 = 204
∴ XCII + CXII = CCIV.
(ii) CCXXXIV = 234 and CCII = 202
Then, 234 – 202 = 32
∴ CCXXXIV – CCII = XXXII.
(iii) LVI = 56 and XVI = 16
Then, 56 × 16 = 896
∴ LVI × XVI = DCCCXCVI.
Question 10:
State ‘True’ or ‘False’ for the following:
(i) V is never written left to X.
