on converting the Arabic number into roman numerals we get that 300 in roman numerals is written as : CCC as C=100.
Arabic numbers need less digits to represent large numbers (in general). When doing arithmetic operations on the numbers, Arabic is easier because of the place values can line up.
I would convert them back into Hindu-Arabic numerals, do the addition and then convert the answer to Roman numerals.
CXXXXV is not a correctly written Roman numeral. The individual numerals within it are real numerals but according to the rules of writing Roman numerals 'no numeral can be written more than three times in succession.' So, XXXX is not allowed. The numerals you have written add up to 145 and the correct Roman numeral for this is CXLV
Essentially, Yes. The basic numerals are; I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500 and M = 1000. Any number from 1 to 3999 (MMMCMXCIX) can be made from combinations of these numerals. For numbers of 4000 and above additional numerals are used.

It's quite possible but an unnecessary exercise inasmuch that the ancient Romans had no need for huge amounts of numbers although they would have probably used numerals from one to a million at the most.

The even numbers up to 100 are: 2 468101214161820222426283032343638404244464850525456586062646668707274767880828486889092949698100.
Depending on how you look at it, there are either 99 or 100 whole numbers up to 100. If you mean up to and including 100, then the answer is 100 whole numbers, if not, then the answer is 99 whole numbers.
There are 48 different numbers that are considered to be perfect numbers. The perfect numbers that are up to 100 include 6 and 28.
It's somewhat tautological, but one reason we don't use them is because nobody uses them. Not everyone can read them, so using them limits the number of people who can read what you wrote, and that generally defeats the purpose of writing something. The second is that they're inefficient compared to Arabic numerals. Compare a simple number like 1,234. The Roman Numeral equivalent is MCCXXXIV. Look at how many more characters that is than the Arabic numerals, and that's only a thousand. Imagine how many Roman Numerals you'd need to write a number in the billions. The third is that Arabic numerals are built with math in mind. When you write math in Arabic numerals the equivalent values are in the same places, but with the Roman system they can be all over the place. For example, 9-7 in Roman numerals would be IX - VII. It's very unintuitive to read, and getting from the numbers that you start with to the ones that you'll end up with will mean converting them to different formats.
The main reason we employ Hindu-Arabic numbers so widely is that it is much easier to do arithmetic with them than it is with Roman numerals. Roman numerals are fine if you just want to represent one number, but if you want to add CMLVII to MCXXXIV then basically you have to do it in your head, because there is no column- for -place system as we use today. Adding 957 to 1134 is much easier if you arrange them under each other, lining up the units, tens, hundreds etc.
While Roman numerals were fine for notating simple numbers, they were incredibly difficult to work with in any computational sense, due to the non-positional nature of the numerals. With the evolution of the Hindu-Arabic base-10 positional system, numeric notation and computation was greatly simplified. Adoption by mathematicians was already widespread in the East by the time it reached Europe, thus adoption by the British was inevitable.
