Question 1391 in the bank

Which number marks the “wheelbase” of this vehicle?

Side view of an orange four-axle truck with dimension lines under its wheels labelled 7, 14, 16 and 3.
  1. Correct answer: 14
  2. 16
  3. 7
  4. 3

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: 14

The wheelbase is the distance between the front axle and the rear axle. When there is a group of axles at the front or at the end of the vehicle, the measurement is taken from the center of the front group to the center of the rear group, and this is the line marked 14. The measurement 16 is longer, and the measurements 7 and 3 are too short and measure only partial sections.
