This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2022 Matriculation Level Question Paper (02-Aug-2022) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is

116

Take the sum of alphabetical positions of the letters and multiply by the number of letters:

\(\text{Code} = \left(\sum \text{positions}\right) \times (\text{number of letters})\)

  • SEA → \((19+5+1)\times 3 = 25\times 3 = 75\) ✓
  • POND → \((16+15+14+4)\times 4 = 49\times 4 = 196\) ✓

Apply to LAKE (4 letters):

\((12+1+11+5)\times 4 = 29\times 4 = 116\)

Hence LAKE is coded as 116, option (2).
