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

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

SUM OF THE PLACE VALUE OF IST LETTER  - SUM OF THE PLACE VALUE IIND LETTER

NOW

BR - EW

2 + 18  - ( 5  + 23)

= 20 - 28

= -8

AND

CA - LF

= 3  + 1 - ( 12 + 6)

= 4 - 18

= -12

SIMILARLY

DA - WN

= 4 + 1  - ( 23 + 14 )

= 5 - 37

=  -32
