The symbols used are the numbers 0 to 4. Five is represented by 10, Twenty-five is represented by 100 and Sixty is represented by 220. For more info on the Quinary system (base 5) check the wiki reference below.
The number of symbols in the base of a number is equal to the base. Thus if the base is 2, there are two symbols, if the base is 8, there are eight symbols, if the base is 10, then there are ten symbols, if the base is 16, then there are sixteen symbols. Note that in each case "0" is a symbol. Also the base itself is not in the set of symbols. Thus there is no symbol for "2" in the base 2 system, no symbol for "8" in the base 8 system and so on. In each case the base is represented by the combination of the primitive symbols that run from 0 through (base - 1). Thus two in the base 2 system is represented as 10, eight in the base 8 system is represented by 10, and so on.
That symbol is not found on the list of choices that follows the question.
The most commonly used Roman numerals can be made from a combination of seven (7) different symbols, whcih are...I = 1V = 5X = 10L = 50C = 100D = 500M = 1000Using these symbols any number from 1 to 3999 can be represented.
I believe the correct answer would be 88. It is represented by LXXXVIII.
