Explanation:
Option (a): MCMLXXV
= 1000 + (1000 – 100) + 50 + 10 + 10 + 5
= 1000 + 900 + 50 + 25 = 1975
Option (b): MCMXCV
= 1000 + (1000 – 100) + (100 – 10) + 5
= 1000 + 900 + 90 + 5 = 1995
Option (c): MVD
= 1000 + (500 – 5) = 1000 + 495 = 1495
Option (d): MVM
= 1000 + (1000 – 5) = 1000 + 995 = 1995
