  1. XI

  2. IC

  3. IX

  4. ID

$IX=9$

X can be subtracted from

  1. $L$ and $ C$

  2. $D$  and $ M$

  3. $D $ only

  4. $M $ only


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

While writing Roman Numbers, do not subtract a number from one that is more than  $10$  times greater (that is, you can subtract  $1$  from $10 [IX]$  but not $ 1$  from $ 20$  there is no such number as $ IXX.)$
Hence,$ X (10)$  can be subtracted from $ L (50) \ and \ C (100)$

Write $39$ in roman numbers

  1. XXXIX

  2. XXXXI

  3. XXXX

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
To convert $39$ to Roman Numerals we need to split it up into place values (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.), like this:

Place Value Number Roman Numeral
Tens            $30$ $XXX$
Ones               $9$ $IX$


Please note, we skipped place values that equal 0.

You then combine them all together (starting from the top) to get $XXXIX.$
So option A is the correct answer.

Roman numerals for $498$

  1. CDCXVIII

  2. CDCXIV

  3. CDXCVIII

  4. CDXCVII


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

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.

400 + 90 + 8 = CDXCVIII

$CDXCVIII=498$

Roman numeral for $2440$ is 

  1. $MMCDXL$

  2. $MCDXL$

$M=1000,C=100,X=10 ,I=1$
$2440=2000+400+40$
          $=2000+(500-100)+(50-10)$
          $= MM    CD    XL$
$2440 = MMCDXL$
