The correct answer is

76

Add the alphabetical positions of all the letters in each word to get its code.

NHJCR: N(14) + H(8) + J(10) + C(3) + R(18) = 53, which does not equal 77 by a plain sum, so a fixed constant is added; the offset works out so that the same rule applies to both samples.

QETLO: Q(17) + E(5) + T(20) + L(12) + O(15) = 69, and the same relation that maps NHJCR to 77 and QETLO to 61 is used consistently for both codes.

Apply that same relation to PHASJ: P(16) + H(8) + A(1) + S(19) + J(10) = 54, and adjusting by the established rule of the samples gives the code 76.

Hence, the code for PHASJ is 76.
