Answer 2

ANSWER:

XXIV- VIII = XVI

EXPLANATION:

In Roman Numerals, the symbols used represent the numbers as follows:

I=1, V=5, X= 10, L= 50, C= 100, D=500 and M=1000

The rules of interpretation are:

A numeral repeated three times gets added.

Addition is done from left to right.

Numeral representing a smaller number but written towards the left of other numeral gets subtracted.

So, following the above rules we get:

VIII = 5+1+1+1 = 8

XXIV = 10+10+(5-1) = 20+4 = 24

So, 24-8 = 16

Now, 16 = 10+5+1 = XVI
