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