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

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

The logic is;

(place value of opposite letter - positional value of given letter)

So,

B → Y(25) - 2= 23

A → Z(26) - 1= 25

C → X(24) - 3= 21

K → P(16) - 11= 5

Similarly,

G → T(20) - 7= 13

B → Y(25) - 2= 23

J → Q(17) - 10= 7

H → S(19) - 8= 11

Thus, 1323711 is correct.
