Positional value Table

The logic followed here is that the number in each term is the sum of the positional values of the letters in that term.

A (1) B (2) C (3) = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
D (4) F (6) G (7) = 4 + 6 + 7 = 17
J (10) L (12) N (14) = 10 + 12 + 14 = 36

Let's check the given options based on this logic:

1) XYZ20 X (24) + Y (25) + Z (26) = 75. 75 ≠ 20
2) OPT51 O (15) + P (16) + T (20) = 51. 51 = 51
3) WXA25 W (23) + X (24) + A (1) = 48. 48 ≠ 25
4) YZB51 Y (25) + Z (26) + B (2) = 53. 53 ≠ 51

Only Option 2 matches the pattern where the number is the sum of the positional values of the letters.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
