Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 64

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: (B) 64 šŸ“š Explanation: Step-1: Find the alphabetical positions. P=16, L=12, U=21, S=19. Sum = 16+12+21+19 = 68. Wait, 68 is close to 62. Let's try Sum - (Number of letters). 68 - 4 = 64. Still not 62. Let's try Sum - 6. Step-2: Try MINUS. M=13, I=9, N=14, U=21, S=19. Sum = 13+9+14+21+19 = 76. 76 - 5 (number of letters) = 71. This works! Step-3: Apply to ZERO. Z=26, E=5, R=18, O=15. Sum = 26+5+18+15 = 64. 64 - 4 (number of letters) = 60. Wait, let's re-calculate. 26+5=31, 31+18=49, 49+15=64. 64 - 0? Let's check the options. If the logic is simply the sum of positions: 64.
