Question

Convert 93 in Roman numerals.

• A. CIII
• B. XCIII
• C. CXII
• D. CXIII

Answer 1

The correct option is B XCIII

$\begin{array}{cccccccc}\text{Roman}& \text{I}& \text{V}& \text{X}& \text{L}& \text{C}& \text{D}& \text{M}\\ \text{Hindu-Arabic}& 1& 5& 10& 50& 100& 500& 1000\end{array}$

When a Roman numeral with the larger value is on the left, we add the values together and when it is on the right, we subtract the values.

Thus, CIII = 100 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 103

XCIII = 90 + 3 = 93

CXII = 100 + 10 + 2 = 112

CXIII = 100 + 10 + 3 = 113

Therefore, XCIII = 93 is the correct answer.
