Answer 1

Hint:The given problem is related to summation of two numbers and representation of the sum in roman numeral. First find the sum of 10 and 40. Then use the roman number representation to express the sum as roman number.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Before proceeding with the solution, let’s understand the concept of roman numbers.Roman numerals are defined as combinations of the letters I, V, X, L, C, D and M which are used in various orders to stand for a specific number. The following table shows various numbers in the form of roman numbers:

Number	Roman Number
1	I
2	II
3	III
4	IV
5	V
10	X
40	XL
50	L
100	C
500	D
1000	M

Now, coming to the question, we are asked to find the sum of 10 and 40 and then represent it in roman numbers.
First, we will find the sum of 10 and 40. 10 + 40 = 50.
So, the sum of the given numbers is 50. Now, from the table, we can see that 50 is represented as L in roman number. So, we can say that the sum of 10 and 40 is represented as L in roman numbers. Hence, option C is the correct option.

Note: Students often get confused in roman number representation. The numbers should be properly remembered as even a slight confusion can cause students to write wrong answers. Roman number representation is very useful and hence should be remembered properly.
