Solution

The correct option is A XLVIII

The Roman numerals are represented
by the following letters:

I = 1

V = 5

X = 10

L = 50

C = 100

D = 500

M = 1000

If a numeral is followed by another numeral of lower denomination, the two are added together;

if it is preceded by one of lower denomination, the smaller numeral is subtracted from the greater.


XLVIII = 50-10+5+1+1+1 = 48
