Show that the following cannot exist.
$VVX$

Given :

The given number is $VVX$

To do :

We have to show that $VVX$ cannot exist.

Solution :

We know that,

If a smaller number precedes a larger number, subtract the smaller number.

$VVX = 5+10-5 = 10$

But to represent $10$ we can directly use $X$.

Therefore, $VVX$ cannot exist.
