Correct Answer: 34


Solution : Given:
TAKES is coded as 51 and LEAVE is coded as 40.

Subtract 5 from the sum of the positional values of the letters of TAKES, to obtain the required code –
T(20) + A(1) + K(11) + E(5) + S(19) = 56; 56 – 5 = 51
Thus, TAKES is coded as 51.
And, LEAVE is coded as 40 –
L(12) + E(5) + A(1) + V(22) + E(5) = 45; 45 – 5 = 40
Thus, LEAVES is coded as 40.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for TEAM→
T(20) + E(5) + A(1) + M(13) = 39; 39 – 5 = 34

So, TEAM is coded as 34. Hence, the second option is correct.
