Explanation

This question uses alphabetical position sums: GREEN (G=7,R=18,E=5,E=5,N=14) total = 49; BLUE (B=2,L=12,U=21,E=5) total = 40; combined = 89. RED (R=18,E=5,D=4) total = 27; BLACK (B=2,L=12,A=1,C=3,K=11) total = 29; combined = 56. YELLOW (Y=25,E=5,L=12,L=12,O=15,W=23) total = 92; BROWN (B=2,R=18,O=15,W=23,N=14) total = 72; combined = 164.

AI explanation

To solve this question, we need to determine the values of the colors and then find the sum of yellow and brown.

Let's assign variables to the values of the colors:

Let: Green = G Blue = B Red = R Black = K Yellow = Y Brown = Br

From the given information, we have two equations:

1) G + B = 89 2) R + K = 56

We need to find the value of Y + Br.

Since we don't have direct information about the values of yellow and brown, we need to find a relationship between the variables.

Let's consider the sum of all the colors:

(G + B) + (R + K) = 89 + 56 G + B + R + K = 145

Now, let's express this sum in terms of yellow and brown:

(G + B) + (R + K) = (Y + Br) + (G + R + B + K)

Since we know the values of (G + B) and (R + K), we can substitute them in to get:

89 + 56 = (Y + Br) + 145 145 = Y + Br + 145

From this equation, we can conclude that Y + Br = 0.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) None of these, as the sum of yellow and brown is 0.
