Directions for questions (11–13): Go through the passage given below and solve the questions based on it. 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 = 1000 In 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 continuously 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. 11. The value of the numeral MDCCLXXXVII is (a) 1687 (b) 1787 (c) 1887 (d) 1987 12. The value of the numeral MCMXC IX is (a) 1999 (b) 1899 (c) 1989 (d) 1889 Which of the following represents the numeral for 1995? I. MCMLXXV II. MCMXCV III. MVD IV. MVM (a) Only I and II (b) Only Ill and IV (c) Only II and IV (d) Only IV
