In a certain coding system, A D is coded as 1 2 , B H is coded as 2 4 , A P is coded as 1 1 2 . What is the code for P Y ?

How is it that 4 becomes 14, what does the bar mean
The first letter is the same as in the order of alphabets, the second letter is the square root of that:
A D = ( A = 1 ) ( D = 4 = 2 ) = 1 2
B H = ( B = 2 ) ( H = 8 = 2 2 ) = 2 2 2 (I think something is wrong in the queston)
A P = ( A = 1 ) ( P = 1 6 = 0 4 ) = 1 0 4
P Y = ( P = 1 6 ) ( Y = 2 5 = 0 5 ) = 1 6 0 5
My thinking is described in my solution.

Sir, but you did not post a solution, I think.

The positions of the letters A , B , D , H , P , Y in the alphabetic system are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 1 6 , 2 5 , respectively.
First code : A D ↔ p o s A p o s D − p o s A × p o s D ≡ 1 4 − 2 = 1 2
Second code : B H ↔ p o s B p o s H − p o s B × p o s H ≡ 2 8 − 4 = 2 4
Third code : A P ↔ p o s A p o s P − p o s A × p o s P ≡ 1 1 6 − 4 = 1 1 2
So, P Y ↔ p o s P p o s Y − p o s P × p o s Y = 1 6 2 5 − 2 0 = 1 6 0 5 .
