Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e 62.
| Understanding | Application |

The logic used here is: The code value is the difference between the sum of values of the letters and the number of letters in the word. MUSIC ⇒ 60 M + U + S + I + C = 13 + 21 + 19 + 9 + 3 =65 Total numc=ber of letters = 5 Code = 65 - 5 = 60 |
Similarly, LYRIC ⇒ ? L + Y + R + I + C = 12 + 25 + 18 + 9 + 3 =67 Total numc=ber of letters = 5 Code = 67 - 5 = 62 Hence, option 2 is the correct answer. |
