The Incorrect answer is 'B' Take 'A' for example 5612 is the same as 5000 + 600 + 10 + 2 However each of these numbers is a different base, The 'Th' Column is in base6 this equals 1080 Base10 The 'Hu' Column is in base8 this equals 384 Base10 The 'te' Column is in Base9 this equals 9 in Base10 The 'un' Column is in Base8 this equals 2 in Base10 Add these Base10 figures together to get your answer 1080 + 384 + 9 + 2 = 1475 This method does not work for 'B'
