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

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:

( SUM OF THE OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) × 2 +( NUMBER OF LETTER IN THE WORD) × 2

S → OPPOSITE → H → PLACE VALUE → 8

U → OPPOSITE → F → PLACE VALUE → 6

M → OPPOSITE → N → PLACE VALUE → 14

(8 + 6 + 14 ) × 2 + (3 × 2 )

= 28 × 2 + 6

= 56 + 6 = 62

AND

P → OPPOSITE → K → PLACE VALUE → 11

O → OPPOSITE → L → PLACE VALUE → 12

T → OPPOSITE → G → PLACE VALUE → 7.

(11 + 12 + 7 ) × 2 + (3 × 2 )

= 30 × 2 + 6

= 60 + 6 = 66

SIMILARLY

H → OPPOSITE → S → PLACE VALUE → 19

U → OPPOSITE → F → PLACE VALUE → 6

L → OPPOSITE → O → PLACE VALUE → 15

K → OPPOSITE → P → PLACE VALUE → 16

(19 + 6 + 15 + 16 ) × 2 + (4 × 2 )

= 56  × 2 + 8

= 112 + 8 = 120
