Question

Represent 1020 in Roman Numerals.

• A. MXX
• B. MXV
• C. MXXX
• D. MV

Answer 1

The correct option is A MXX

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

MXXX = 1000 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 1030

MXX = 1000 + 10 + 10 = 1020

MV = 1000 + 5 = 1005

MXV = 1000 + 10 + 5 = 1015

Thus, MXX = 1020 is the correct answer.
