******************************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
SUM OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE + TOTAL NUMBER OF LETTER
NOW
BANKER = TOTAL NUMBER OF LETTER = 6
B = 2
A = 1
N = 14
K = 11
E = 5
R = 18
2 + 1 + 14 + 11 + 5 + 18 = 51
SUM OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE + TOTAL NUMBER OF LETTER
51 + 6 = 57
AND,
SPAN
SPAN = TOTAL NUMBER OF LETTER = 4
S = 19
P = 16
A = 1
N = 14
19 + 16 + 1 + 14 = 50
SUM OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE + TOTAL NUMBER OF LETTER
50 + 04 = 54
SIMILARLY
PRANK
PRANK = TOTAL NUMBER OF LETTER = 5
P = 16
R = 18
A = 1
N = 14
K = 11
16 + 18 + 1 + 14 + 11 = 60SUM OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE + TOTAL NUMBER OF LETTER
60 + 5 = 65
