The logic is: (The sum of the alphabets in the opposite positional values) - (Number of Vowels in word) MALICE → M = 14, A = 26, L = 15, I = 18, C = 24, E = 22 Number of Vowels in the given word = 3 = (14 + 26 + 15 + 18 + 24 + 22)- (3) = 119 - 3 = 116 Similarly, NORMAL → N = 13, O = 12, R = 9, M = 14, A = 26, L = 15 Number of Vowels in the given word = 2 = (13 + 12 + 9 + 14 + 26 + 15) - (2) = 89 - 2 = 87 Similarly, OMINOUS →O = 12, M = 14, I = 18, N = 13, O = 12, U = 6, S = 8 Number of Vowels in the given word = 4 = (12 + 14 + 18 + 13 + 12 + 6 + 8) - (4) = 83 - 4 = 79 Hence, the correct answer is "79"
