Solution
Explanation:
- The roman number system was basically designed to estimate the prices of goods and trading business. So the roman system did not need any value to represent zero.
- But instead of zero, the word nulla was used by the Romans to specify zero.
- Latin language the word nulla means none.
Hence nulla is used to represent zero but there is no specific symbol for zero to represent in roman number system.
