26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
*****************************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
In word AN
PLACE VALUE OF A And N = 1 AND 14
CODED AS = (1 × 14) + 2 = 16
In word NO
PLACE VALUE OF A And N = 14 AND 15
CODED AS = (14 × 15) + 2 = 212
SIMILARLY
In word US
PLACE VALUE OF A And N = 21 AND 19
CODED AS = (21 × 19) + 2 = 399 + 2 = 401
