Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 57.

The logic:  Sum of alphabetical positional value of given word.

MARS → 13 + 1 + 18 + 19 = 51

STARS → 19 + 20 + 1 + 18 + 19 = 77

Similarly,

MOON → 13 + 15 + 15 + 14 = 57

Hence, the correct answer is 57.
