    The truck cannot pass safely under the bridge. The truck is 13 inches taller than the maximum height.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In the question,

    The maximum height of the vehicle which is capable of passing under the bridge is 12 feet and 5 inches.

    So,

    Now we know that,

    1 feet = 12 inches

    So,

    12 feet = 12 x 12 = 144 inches

    So,

    Total height of the vehicle which is permissible to pass under the bridge is,

    12 feet 5 inches = 144 + 5 = 149 inches

    Also,

    Height of the truck = 162 inches

    Therefore, we can see that the permissible height is smaller than the height of the vehicle.

    Height of vehicle which is more than permissible height is by,

    162 - 149 = 13 inches

    Therefore, the truck cannot pass safely under the bridge. The truck is 13 inches taller than the maximum height.
