If Driver = 12, PEDESTRAIN = 20, ACCIDENT = 16, Then CAR = ?

Options

A. 3
B. 6
C. 8
D. 10

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to identify the pattern used to assign numerical values to the words "DRIVER," "PEDESTRIAN," and "ACCIDENT."

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Count the Letters in Each Word**:
- DRIVER has 6 letters.
- PEDESTRIAN has 11 letters.
- ACCIDENT has 8 letters.

2. **Identify the Pattern**:
- For DRIVER (6 letters): The value is 12. This suggests that the number of letters is multiplied by 2.
\[ 6 \times 2 = 12 \]
- For PEDESTRIAN (11 letters): The value is 20. Again, we can see that the number of letters is multiplied by 2.
\[ 11 \times 2 = 22 \quad \text{(but it doesn't match, so we need to check if there's a different pattern)} \]
- For ACCIDENT (8 letters): The value is 16. This also follows the same pattern.
\[ 8 \times 2 = 16 \]

However, we notice that PEDESTRIAN does not fit the pattern of multiplying by 2. Let's check if there's a different calculation for it.

It seems that the pattern is not consistent across all words. Let's analyze the values more closely.

- DRIVER: 6 letters → 12 (6 * 2)
- PEDESTRIAN: 11 letters → 20 (11 - 1 = 10, then multiply by 2)
- ACCIDENT: 8 letters → 16 (8 * 2)

3. **Calculate for CAR**:
- CAR has 3 letters.
- Following the pattern for the other words, we multiply the number of letters by 2.
\[ 3 \times 2 = 6 \]

4. **Final Answer**:
- Therefore, the value for CAR is **6**.
