    A 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The logic followed here is:

    The sum of the place value of the 1st letter of the 1st word and the last letter of the 2nd word gives the coded number.

    In WORD - LUCK:

    'W' is the 1st letter in "WORD" → Place value of W = 23

    'K' is the last letter in "LUCK" → Place value of K = 11

    WORD - LUCK = 23 + 11 = 34

    In FAIR - HOPE:

    'F' is the 1st letter in "FAIR" → Place value of F = 6

    'E' is the last letter in "HOPE" → Place value of E = 5

    FAIR - HOPE = 6 + 5 = 11
