*********************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
SUM OF POSITIONAL VALUE OF OPPOSITE LETTER + NUMBER OF LETTERS IN EACH WORD
F → (OPPOSITE) → U
R → (OPPOSITE) → I
E → (OPPOSITE) → V
N → (OPPOSITE) → M
C → (OPPOSITE) → X
H → (OPPOSITE) → H
21 + 9 + 22 + 13 + 24 + 19 + 6 = 114
AND
L → (OPPOSITE) → O
O → (OPPOSITE) → L
S → (OPPOSITE) → H
S → (OPPOSITE) → H
15 + 12 + 8 + 8 + 4 = 47
SIMILARLY
C → (OPPOSITE) → X
O → (OPPOSITE) → L
U → (OPPOSITE) → F
R → (OPPOSITE) → I
S → (OPPOSITE) → H
E → (OPPOSITE) → V
24 + 12 + 6 + 9 + 8 + 22 + 6 = 87
