M = 13 -> 26-13 = 13.
O = 15 -> 26-15 = 11.
So,
H = 8 -> 26-8 = 18.
J = 10 -> 26-10 = 16.

Thanks @Monish.

We know the total no of the alphabet is 26.

M position is 13.
M=26-13=13.

O position is 15.
O=26-15=11.

Same as.

H position is 8.
H=26-8=18.

J position is 10.
J=26-10=16.

HJ:18:16.

From A to Z, M=13th alphabet and O is 15th alphabet, if both are subtracted from 26 (total no. Of alphabets), M will be 13 and O will be 11 i.e. MO: 1311.

Similarly, H is 8th and J is 10th alphabet, going by the above logic after subtracting from 26, H will 18 and J will be 16 i.e. HO: 1816.

M = 13 O = 15.
i.e 26-13 =13 26-15=11.
Similarly,

H = 8 J =10 i.e 26-8 = 18 26-10= 10.

Answer 18 10.

I think the right answer could be 816. Because if we see the logic of MO ; 1311. We can get it by counting first alphabet i.e. M from A which comes in 13th alphabet. And then count from second alphabet i.e O which is 11th from Z.

M to O difference = 2.

11 to 13 difference = -2.

H to J = 2.

18 to 16 = -2.

Total Number of Alphabets are 26, so as per the question above mentioned:

M is the 13th letter and O is the 15th letter as in below detail:

26-13=13 That is, 26 are the total number of alphabets and 13 is the position of M.

Similarly, 26-15=11 That is 26 are the total number of alphabets and 15 is the position of O.

Similarly 26-8=18 that is 26 are the total number of alphabets and 8 is the position of H.

And 26-10=16 that is 26 are the total number of alphabets and 10 is the position of J.

We know the all English alphabet from A to Z. There, "H" is the 18th letter and "J" is the 16th letter when counting from Z to A and also excepting the letter "Z".

M and O are the 13 and 11th letters in the alphabet (numerically). So for H and J it would be 18 and 16 because of the letter numbers.
