Question

Anil had CCCLXXV apples and CXXIV oranges. Total number of fruits Anil had is .

• A. CDXCIX
• B. D
• C. CDXCVIII
• D. L

Answer 1

The correct option is A CDXCIX

I, V, X, L, C, M are the alphabets used to represent various numbers in the roman number system.
I = 1
V = 5
X = 10
L = 50
C = 100
D = 500
M = 1000

Total number of fruits Anil had
= number of apples
+ number of oranges

$\therefore$ CCCLXXV + CXXIV
= 375 + 124
= 499
= 400 + 90 + 9
= CD + XC + IX
= CDXCIX
