Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 40

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) 40 šŸ“š Explanation: Step by step solving: 1. Assign numerical values to the letters based on their standard alphabetical position (A=1, B=2 ... Z=26). 2. For PEN: P(16) + E(5) + N(14) = 35. 3. For BOX: B(2) + O(15) + X(24) = 41. 4. Applying the exact same logic to CUP: C(3) + U(21) + P(16) = 40.
