    70
  2. B
    62
  3. C
    64
  4. D
    68

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's find the positional values of the letters provided in the string:T = 20R = 18H = 8D = 4M = 13W = 23Let's sum these positional values together:

Now look at the numbers following the letters: 4, 8, 6, 2. If we write them side by side as pairs or look at the digits:Notice that the digits of the sum () can be re-arranged or are related to the numbers. Let's look closely at the number sequence itself: 48, 62,...Let's see: reversed or modified? No.Let's try another pattern where the letters represent numerical terms and the sequence is a standard number series:If the series is a sequence of numbers: 20, 18, 8, 4, 13, 23, 48, 62, ?Let's check the differences or combinations: Let's look at the relation between adjacent terms: Let's check: Let's try: Let's look at the pairs:T(20) + R(18) = 38H(8) + D(4) = 12M(13) + W(23) = 36Look at the given sequence of digits at the end: 4, 8, 6, 2. It can be read as 48, 62.Let's look at the numbers: What about ?Let's check another beautiful pattern:T = 20, R = 18 . Add 10 48.H = 8, D = 4 . Add 30 62.M = 13, W = 23 . Following the alternating addition/multiplication or a set constant:Let's see if the sequence is simply: (where forms an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 22: rearranged as sequence).Let's verify another simpler relation:Sum of all letters .Notice the digits 8 and 6. .Now take 48: its digits are 4 and 8. ? No, the text says 62.Let's check: , then .Let's check the difference between successive terms if it is a single combined number series:20, 18, 8, 4, 13, 23, 48, 62, ?Let's check alternating terms:20, 8, 13, 4818, 4, 23, 62Let's examine the second alternating series: 18, 4, 23, 62: : : Let's examine the first alternating series: 20, 8, 13, 48, ?: : : Following the trend for the next term from 48:Let's look at the options: 70, 62, 64, 68. Since 62 is already present, and the options are around 60-70, let's find a more direct pattern.Let's re-read the numbers at the end: 48, 62, ?Difference between 62 and 48 is .If the next difference is also 14: (not in options).If the next difference is 6 (derived from , ): .Let's check if 68 works beautifully with a digit-based logic: This matches option D (68).
