***********************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS:
SUM OF THE ACTUAL POSITION VALUE ACCORDING TO THE ENGLISH ALPHABETIC SERIES IS DIVIDED BY THE NUMBER OF LETTERS WITHIN THE WORD
AS
LANDS
L = 12
A = 1
N = 13
D = 4
S = 19
12 + 1 + 13 + 4 + 19 = 50
AND 50 ÷ 5 = 10
TRAM
T = 20
R = 18
A = 1
M = 13
20 + 18 + 1 + 13 = 52
AND 52 ÷ 4 = 13
SIMILARLY
TASTE
T = 20
A = 1
S = 19
T = 20
E = 5
20 + 1 + 19 + 20 + 5 = 65
AND 65 ÷ 5 = 13
