Question

The minimum number of Match sticks required to make number 83 in Roman Numerals

Answer 1

Step-by-step 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.

X = 10+10+10+10-1 = 39

∴ Number of matchsticks required would be 9.
