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

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

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

ADDITION OF REVERSE VALUE OF POSITIONAL ALPHABET

B → REVERSE VALUE → 25

A → REVERSE VALUE → 26

G → REVERSE VALUE → 20

BAG = 25 + 26 + 20 = 71

AND

VICE

V → REVERSE VALUE → 5

I → REVERSE VALUE → 18

C → REVERSE VALUE → 24

E → REVERSE VALUE → 22

5 + 18 + 24  +22 = 69

SIMILARLY

LIKE = ORPV (REVERSED)

L → REVERSE VALUE → 15

I → REVERSE VALUE → 18

K → REVERSE VALUE → 16

E → REVERSE VALUE → 22

15 + 18 + 16 + 22 = 71
