Class 6 - Mathematics - Unit 1: Number System - True or False Questions

Question 47

Step 1: Know the Roman numerals.

\(L = 50\)

\(V = 5\)

\(I = 1\)

Step 2: Work out LIV.

\(LIV = L + IV\)

\(IV = V - I\)

\(IV = 5 - 1 = 4\)

So, \(LIV = 50 + 4 = 54\).

Step 3: Work out LVI.

\(LVI = L + VI\)

\(VI = V + I\)

\(VI = 5 + 1 = 6\)

So, \(LVI = 50 + 6 = 56\).

Step 4: Compare the values.

\(54 < 56\)

Therefore, LIV is not greater than LVI. The statement is false.
