• B. X
• C. XI
• D. XXI

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

XI

Time shown by the clock is $11$ o'clock.

Converting it to Roman Number by using:

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.

$\therefore 11=10+1=XI$
