26  25  24  23  22  21  20  19  18  17  16  15  14

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

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

SUM OF THE PLACE VALUE -3

AS

ROM = 18 + 15 + 13  = 46

AND 46 - 3 = 43

SIMILARLY

ABK = 1 + 2 + 11 = 14

14 - 3 = 11

THEREFORE

PNB = 16 + 14  + 2 = 32

AND 32 - 3 = 29
