Option 3 : LC
Given:
⇒ LXIII, XCII, LC, XLIV
Concept used:
Use roman number symbol,
⇒ L = 50
⇒ I = 1
⇒ X = 10
⇒ V = 5
Calculation:
First take LXIII
It may written as LXIII = 50 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 63
In XCII, XC means 100 - 10 = 90
⇒ XCII = 100 - 10 + 1 + 1 = 92
⇒ XLIV = 100 - 10 + 5 -1 = 94
In LC, we cannot write it as,
Because we can subtract the closest number on the left only
Like I, X , L , C , M
⇒ IX = 9
⇒ XC = 90
⇒ CM = 900
The subtract number cannot be less than 1 / 10th of the greater number.
∴ we cannot write LC.
∴ Option 3 is correct.
