******************************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:
THE VOWELS ARE CODED AS THEIR POSITIONAL VALUE AND THE COSONANTS ARE CODED AS THEIR OPPOSITE POSITIONAL VALUE
AS
R → (OPP. POSITIONAL VALUE) → 9
E → (VOWEL) → 5
A →(VOWEL) → 1
S → (OPP. POSITIONAL VALUE) → 88
O → (VOWEL) → 15
N → (OPP. POSITIONAL VALUE) → 13
9 + 5 + 1 + 8 + 15 + 13 = 51
AND
B → (OPP. POSITIONAL VALUE) → 25
A → (VOWEL) → 1
K → (OPP. POSITIONAL VALUE) → 16
E → (VOWEL) → 5
25 + 1 + 16 + 5 = 47
SIMILARLY
M → (OPP. POSITIONAL VALUE) → 14
A → (VOWEL) → 1
R → (OPP. POSITIONAL VALUE) → 9
R → (OPP. POSITIONAL VALUE) → 9
Y → (OPP. POSITIONAL VALUE) → 2
14 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 35
