*********************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
CONSONANTS : REVERSE ALPHABETICAL VALUES ARE USED
VOWEL : ACTUAL ALPHABETS ARE USED
AS (NO CHANGE IN VOWEL)
B → (OPPOSITE) → Y → (PLACE VALUE) → 25
L → (OPPOSITE) → O → (PLACE VALUE) → 15
I → (NO CHANGE) → I → (PLACE VALUE) → 9
K → (OPPOSITE) → M → (PLACE VALUE) → 13
X → (OPPOSITE) → P → (PLACE VALUE) → 16
25 + 15 + 9 + 13 + 16 = 78
AND
P → (OPPOSITE) → K → (PLACE VALUE) → 11
U → (NO CHANGE) → U → (PLACE VALUE) → 21
R → (OPPOSITE) → I → (PLACE VALUE) → 9
S → (OPPOSITE) → H → (PLACE VALUE) → 8
E → (NO CHANGE) → E → (PLACE VALUE) → 5
11 + 21 + 9 + 8 + 5 = 54
SIMILARLY
F → (OPPOSITE) → K → (PLACE VALUE) → 21
I → (NO CHANGE) → I → (PLACE VALUE) → 9
R → (OPPOSITE) → I → (PLACE VALUE) → 9
S → (OPPOSITE) → H → (PLACE VALUE) → 8
T → (OPPOSITE) → M → (PLACE VALUE) → 7
21 + 9 + 9 + 8 + 7 = 54
HENCE 54 IS CORRECT ANSWER
