The value 14 is exactly at halfway between 12 and 16. Since the normal curve is increasing in that interval (i.e., approaching 50th percentile), the area between 14 and 16 will be greater than the area between 12 and 14. In other words, more values are distributed around the mean (i.e., 50th percentile). Since the value at the 35th percentile should divide the area between 30th and 40th percentiles in half, the value here will be closer to 16 than 12. Hence, the value at 35th percentile will be greater than 14.
