Question

Choose the correct statement.

• A. 52 is written as LII in Roman numerals.
• B. 102 is written as LLII in Roman numerals.
• C. 140 is written as CLX in Roman numerals.
• D. 42 is written as XXXXII in Roman numerals.

Answer 1

The correct option is A 52 is written as LII in Roman numerals.

52 =50 + 1 + 1 = L+ I + I = LII

102 = 100 + 1 + 1 = C + I + I = CII

140 = 100 + 40 = 100 + 50 - 10 = C + XL = CXL

42 = 40 + 1 + 1 = 50 - 10 + 1 + 1 = XL + I + I = XLII

Thus, the option "52 is written as LII in Roman numerals" is the only correct answer.
