**********************************************************

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:

SUM OF THE PLACE VALUE - NO OF LETTERS IN THE WORD

AS

MUSIC = 13 + 21+ 19 +9 + 3  = 65

= 65 - 5 = 60

TUNE = 20 + 21 + 14 + 5 = 60

= 60 - 4 = 56

SIMILARLY

LYRIC =12 + 25 + 18  + 9  + 3 =67

= 67  - 5 = 62
