Chloe has made a code out of the alphabet by assigning a numerical value to each letter. She then assigns a numerical value to a word by adding up the numerical values of the letters in the word. Using her code, the numerical value of BAT is 6 . Also, her code gives numerical values of 8 to CAT and 12 to CAR. Using her code, what is the numerical value of BAR?
(A) 10
(B) 14
(C) 18
(D) 12
(E) 20
Since the numerical values of CAT and CAR are 8 and 12, then the value of $\mathrm{R}$ must be 4 more than the value of $\mathrm{T}$.

Therefore, the value of BAR is 4 more than the value of BAT, so BAR has a numerical value of 10 .

Answer: (A)
