Detailed Solution

It is given that we have to find the roman numeral representation of the greatest three-digit number.
We know that the largest 3 digit number is 999.
Let's convert that into Roman numerals.
 M=1000 
D=500 C=100 X=10 V=5  I=1 Hence, we can write that,
 900=CM   90=XC  9=IX
Adding the numbers we get,
900+90+9=999
Therefore, 999=CMXCIX (1000-100)+(100-10)+(10-1).
Let's cross verify,
CMXCIX=1000-100+100-10+10-1 =900+90+9
=999
Correct option is 3.
