Question


Which of the following set of numbers are arranged in descending order?


Options:
A .   XLV, XXII, LI, XI
B .   LXI, XLIV, XXXVIII, XXV
C .   XXXVIII, XLIX, LII, LXIV
D .   X, XI
Answer: Option B
:
B

For the set of Roman numerals X, XI the values are:


X = 10


XI = 11


10 < 11.


So, they are not arranged in descending order.


For the set of Roman numerals XLV, XXII, LI, XI:


XLV = 45 and LI = 51. 


45 < 51.


Therefore the set of Roman numerals XLV, XXII, LI, XI are not arranged in descending order.


 


For the set of Roman numerals XXXVIII, XLIX, LII, LXIV:


LII = 52 and LXIV = 64.


52 < 64


Therefore the set of Roman numerals XXXVIII, XLIX, LII, LXIV are not in descending order.


 


For the set of Roman numerals LXI, XLIV, XXXVIII, XXV the values are:


LXI = 50 + 10 + 1 = 61
XLIV = 40 + 4 = 44
XXXVIII = 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 3 =38
XXV = 10 + 10 + 5 = 25
Since, 61, 44, 38, 25 are in descending order so LXI, XLIV, XXXVIII, XXV are arranged in descending order.
