Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- First, figure out how ‘ROUBST’ leads to 61.

- Assign each letter its alphabetical value: R=18, O=15, U=21, B=2, S=19, T=20.

- Add them up: 18+15+21+2+19+20 = 95. That doesn’t give us 61.

- Maybe it's something else. Try letter positions in the word: R(1), O(2), U(3), B(4), S(5), T(6). Sum is 21. Not matching.

- How about summing only vowels? O(15) + U(21) = 36; not matching.

- Try summing the squares of positions, combinations—still nothing lines up.

- Let’s try something different—maybe instead it’s the sum of the positions MINUS the number of letters squared: 95 - (6^2=36) = 59. Still not 61.

- Or maybe something else—let’s check if they just add the positions of each letter in the *word* (1 for R, etc.) to their *alphabetical position*: (18+1)+(15+2)+(21+3)+(2+4)+(19+5)+(20+6) = 19+17+24+6+24+26 = 116. Too high.

- At this point, looks like options are:

- 124

- 114

- 141

- 142

- Given all, let’s see if a pattern emerges when doubling, halving, dividing, or subtracting any values.

Here’s what this really means: without a detailed code explanation, it’s hard to find a visible pattern. The sum of the alphabet values for ‘ROUBST’ is 95; for ‘FORTUNATE’ (F=6, O=15, R=18, T=20, U=21, N=14, A=1, T=20, E=5): 6+15+18+20+21+14+1+20+5 = 120.

- 120 is closest to option 124.

- But 114 and 141, 142 are also close.

Since 61 is not matching a neat math pattern, and 95 (actual sum) isn’t directly used, maybe there’s another pattern, but options suggest adding total letters, or some adjustment. Comparing both sums (ROUBST=95 leads to 61), the difference is 34, and for FORTUNATE (9 letters, sum 120), 120-34=86, still not matching any answers.

So, option 1: 124 is the closest if following the actual sum, but if matching the provided options to the logic, none fit neatly.

Here’s the bottom line:

- The sum for FORTUNATE is 120, which matches best to option 124.

- Correct Answer: Option 1 – 124

It’s always worth stepping back to check if another code rule applies, but with the patterns above, 124 is our best and most logical bet.
