Question

Write the ascending order of $\mathrm{XX},\mathrm{XXXVI},\mathrm{V}?$

Answer 1

Arranging in ascending order:

Step 1: Convert given roman numbers into actual numbers

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{XX}=10+10=20 \\ \mathrm{XXXVI}=10+10+10+5+1=36 \\ \mathrm{V}=5 \end{gathered}$$

Step 2: Arrange it in ascending order

$$\begin{gathered} \because 5<20<36 \\ \therefore \mathrm{V}<\mathrm{XX}<\mathrm{XXXVI} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $\mathrm{V}<\mathrm{XX}<\mathrm{XXXVI}$.
