In "elite" typewriters, the spacing per 100 characters is :
Answer: C
The spacing for 100 characters is 212 mm.
Typewriter type sizes are defined by characters per inch. Elite type has 12 characters to the inch, and pica has 10:
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{elite: } \frac{100}{12}\ \text{in} &= 8.33 \times 25.4 \\ &\approx 212\ \text{mm} \\ \text{pica: } \frac{100}{10}\ \text{in} &= 254\ \text{mm} \end{aligned} \]
Measuring the length of a line of known characters is how examiners identify the type style of a typewritten document.
254 mm is the spacing of pica type, the most likely trap. 225 mm and 185 mm do not correspond to 12 or 10 characters per inch.
