*************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
SUM OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE × 3
AS
O → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 15
N → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 14
I → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 9
O → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 15
N → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 14
(15 + 14 + 9 + 15 + 14) × 3
= 67 × 3
= 67 × 3
= 201
AND
P → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 16
O → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 15
T → (POSITIONAL VALUE) →20
A → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 1
T → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 20
O → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 1
( 16 + 15 + 1 + 20 + 1 ) × 3
= 87 × 3
= 261
SIMILARLY
M → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 13
A → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 1
N → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 14
G → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 7
O → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 15
( 13 + 1 + 14 + 7 + 15 ) × 3
= 50 × 3
= 150
