Explanation:

1  2    3    4   5    6   7     8    9  10  11  12  13

 A   B   C    D   E    F   G    H    I    J    K    L   M

 Z   Y    X   W   V    U   T    S    R   Q   P    O   N

26  25  24  23  22  21  20  19  18  17  16  15  14

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

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:

SUM OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE OF ALPHABET = CODE GIVEN

AS

WORK =

W = 23

O = 15

R = 18

K = 11

= 23 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 67

CUP

C = 3

U = 21

P = 16

3 + 21 +  16 = 40

SIMILARLY

KITE

K = 11

I = 9

T = 20

E = 5

11 + 9  + 20 + 5 = 45
