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

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

SUM OF THE PLACE VALUE + 4

AS

NAMELY = 14 +1 + 13 + 5 + 12 + 25  = 70 AND 70 + 4 = 74

AND

MANAGE = 13 + 1 + 14 + 1 + 7  + 5 = 41 AND 41 + 4= 45

SIMILARLY

MUSHER =13  + 21  + 19 +  8 + 5 + 18 + 4 + 18 = 84 AND 84 + 4 = 88
