2. I can be subracted from V and X only. 3. V,L,D are never reapted.
4. IX cannot occur to the left of X​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given show that each of the following is meaningless. Give reason in each case.

1. VC

2. IL

3. VVII

4. IXX

• Now we need to show that each of the given Roman Numbers are meaningless.
• So in the first case we have VC
• Now in terms of subtraction in Roman numerals, like X, C, I are subtracted but not V or L. Also the numeral V does not appear in front of a greater value that is C = 100
• So 95 is XCV and not VC
• In the next number we have IL
• Here subtraction with a numeral less than 1/10th of the value to its right is not there.
• I will be subtracted from V and X. So 49 is written as XLIX.
• So from third case we have VVII.
• Here some symbols can be repeated in a row up to 3 times but the number V may not be repeated. So we can write this as XVII = 17
• So in the fourth case we have IXX
• Here the lower value IX = 9 may not come in front of a greater numeral X = 10 and IX cannot occur to the left.
• So we can write this as XIX = 19
