The largest can be LXVI^C, or 6 6 1 0 0 ≈ 1 0 1 8 2
Ok cool . But just what are V,X,C,I,L with respect to the question ? I haven't specified them to Roman Numerals ! So I think you are wrong , and btw you are forgetting one thing : This is a TROLL question , so it's only natural for people to get it wrong!! :P

First of all , the given letters are not "Roman Numerals" since I haven't specified them to be so .
So the answer is not CLXVI or 166 .
Some extra Facts :
You could form 978 by rearranging the letters and using the letter V twice but then again , the question asks for the largest number , so the answer should have been 987 (which is not in the options!)
2196 is not really an option since that was the answer to a question posted by a friend of mine .
232 is also not an answer since it was the time when I posted the question : 2: 32 am .
