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

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:

MULTIPLICATION OF PLACE VALUE × 2 = GIVEN CODE

AS

ACT

THE PLACE VALUE OF A  IS 1

THE PLACE VALUE OF C  IS 3

THE PLACE VALUE OF T IS 20

(1 × 3 × 20) × 2

=  60 × 2 = 120

BAD

THE PLACE VALUE OF B  IS 2

THE PLACE VALUE OF A  IS 1

THE PLACE VALUE OF D IS 4

(2 × 1 × 4) × 2

=  8 × 2 = 16

SIMILARLY

KIC = ?

THE PLACE VALUE OF K  IS 11

THE PLACE VALUE OF I  IS 9

THE PLACE VALUE OF D IS 4

(11 × 9 × 4) × 2

= 2947 × 2 = 594
