Answer:
Here is the answer to the question.
Given: 'CAR = 19', 'TRUCK = 68'
To find: "TAXI"
Solution: Let us check for 'CAR' first.
C is the 3rd letter of the English alphabet.
A is the 1st letter of the English alphabet.
R is the 18th letter of the English alphabet.
When we add these numbers, we get = 3 + 1 + 18 = 22.
Now we subtract the number of letters in 'CAR' from the above number
= 22 - 3 = 19.
Let's check for 'TRUCK' now.
T is the 20th letter of the English alphabet.
R is the 18th letter of the English alphabet.
U is the 21st letter of the English alphabet.
C is the 3rd letter of the English alphabet.
K is the 11th letter of the English alphabet.
On adding these numbers, we get = 20 + 18 + 21 + 3 + 11 = 73.
Then we subtract the number of letters in 'TRUCK' from the above number
= 73 - 5 = 68.
Similarly for 'TAXI',
T - 20, A - 1, X - 24, I - 9.
On adding these numbers, we get = 20 + 1 + 24 + 9 = 54.
On subtracting 4 (number of letters in 'TAXI') from this number, we get
= 54 - 4 = 50.
Hence "TAXI" will be 50.
Answer: Option c. 50
