Show answer & explanation

Answer: (B) A

Explanation

'talk' (8756) and 'peak' (8964) share the letters a and k and the digits 8 and 6. 'peak' and 'tame' (1654) share a and e and the digits 6 and 4, so a = 6, k = 8 and e = 4. 'mine' (3214) and 'tame' (1654) share m and e and the digits 1 and 4; since e = 4, m = 1.
