If BOOK-PEN = 8, then PEN-NIB = ?

A10

B6

C8

D12

Answer:

A. 10

Read Explanation:

Let's analyze:

  • B = 2, O = 15, O = 15, K = 11

  • P = 16, E = 5, N = 14

Adding up the letter positions:

  • BOOK = 2 + 15 + 15 + 11 = 43

  • PEN = 16 + 5 + 14 = 35

Taking the difference:

  • BOOK - PEN = 43 - 35 = 8

Now, let's apply the same logic to PEN - NIB:

  • N = 14, I = 9, B = 2

  • NIB = 14 + 9 + 2 = 25

Taking the difference:

  • PEN - NIB = 35 - 25 = 10

Therefore, PEN - NIB = 10.
