Question

In the Roman numeral, I can be subtracted from:

• A. V and X
• B. M only
• C. V only
• D. none

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

V and X

Subtraction Rule:

Writing a smaller number to the left of a larger number means that the smaller number has to be subtracted from the larger number. The symbol 1 can be used for subtraction from V and X only. The symbol X can be subtracted only from L and C.

Hence, the answer is V and X.
