    The answer is calculated the way below :

    4*4*4*4 - 4*4 = 240
    3*3*3 - 3*3 = 18
    5*5*5*5*5 - 5*5 = 3100

    So the answer is 3100

    hi saisakthi
    i found it on net..
    BLUE has 4 letters
    so
    4 power 4 -4 power 2 = 240
    TEA has 3 letters
    so
    3 power 3 - 3 power 2= 18

    Likewise, MATCH has 5 letters.
    So
    5 power 5 - 5 power 2= 3100

    omsrisai explained the same....First i thought the answer depends on the alphabets position and so tried a lot..Then i searched in net and found the explanation..

    Dear Vidya sister / Omsrisai Sister,

    I agree with your workings, but why should all be subtracted by the no power 2 ???

    Thank you OMSRISAI and VIDYA for taking time to explain the solution.
    Saisakthi,

    To be subtracted by the power of 2 - that's the pattern. Basically u wanted to find the pattern, that's it.

    Gee... i think am a donkey sitting around a load of intelligent people. For this is how I gussed the answer to be 3000 -
    BEST - # of letters is 4. Pattern is to multiply this with 6 = 24. Add one Zero and truncate the length to 3 (4-1=3)
    TEA - # of letters is 3. Multiply this with 6 = 18. Add no zero as no truncation of length is required (3-1=2)
    So,
    MATCH - 5 letters, multiply by 6 = 30 and truncate by adding only 2 zeros!!
