Question 43. Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below:The seven basic symbols in a certain numeral system and their respective values are as follows:I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500 and M = 1000In general, the symbols in the numeral system are read from left to right, starting with the symbol representing the largest value; the same symbol cannot occur contiguously more than three times; the value of the numeral is the sum of the values of the symbols. For example, XXVII = 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 27. An exception to the left to right reading occurs when a symbol is followed immediately by a symbol of greater value; then, the smaller value is subtracted from the larger. For example, XLVI = (50 - 10) + 5 + 1 = 46.The value of the numeral MDCCLXXXVII is:
Answer: Option B. -> 1787
MDCCLXXXVII= 1000 + 500 + 100 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 1787
Question 44. Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below:The seven basic symbols in a certain numeral system and their respective values are as follows:I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500 and M = 1000In general, the symbols in the numeral system are read from left to right, starting with the symbol representing the largest value; the same symbol cannot occur contiguously more than three times; the value of the numeral is the sum of the values of the symbols.

For example, XLVI = (50 - 10) + 5 + 1 = 46.The value of the numeral MCMXCIX is:
Answer: Option A. -> 1999
MCMXCIX= 1000 + (1000 - 100) + (100 - 10) + (10 - 1)= 1000 + 900 + 90 + 9 = 1999
