  2. 86
  3. 52
  4. 72

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 86

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: (B) 86 šŸ“š Explanation: Step-1: Find the alphabetical positions of letters in 'READ': R=18, E=5, A=1, D=4. Sum = 18+5+1+4 = 28. To get 74, the logic is (Sum x 2) + 18 (or another constant). Let's check a simpler logic: (Position of R + E + A + D) = 28. 28 x 2 = 56. 56 + 18 = 74. Step-2: Apply to 'BOOK': B=2, O=15, O=15, K=11. Sum = 2+15+15+11 = 43. Step-3: Multiply by 2. 43 x 2 = 86. (The logic here is simply Sum x 2 = 86, which is a common pattern).
