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

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

SUM OF THE POSITION OF LETTERS OF WORD - 2 = GIVEN CODE

AS

RAMP

R = 18

A = 1

M = 13 

P = 16

(18 + 1 + 13 +16) - 2 = 46

AND

HORSE

H = 8

O =15

R =18

S = 19

E = 5

( 8 + 15 + 18  +19 + 5 ) - 2 = 63

SIMILARLY

C = 3

A = 1

R =18

P = 16

E = 5

N =14

T =20

E =5

R =18

(3 +1+ 18 + 16 + 5 + 14 +  20+ 5+ +18) - 2 =98
