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

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

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

MULTIPLICATION OF PLACE VALUE - 3 = CODE GIVEN

AS

ARE = 1 × 18 × 5 = 90

= 90 - 3 = 87

SIMILARLY

NOT = 14× 15 × 20

4200 - 3 = 4197

SIMILARLY

CAT = 3 + 1 +  20 = 24

24 - 3 = 21
