M is as 14-1 = 13 whereas 0 is as 12-1 = 11 similarly h=26-8=17. J = 26-10 = 16.

O is -11 and M is -13 from Z similarly J is -17 and H is -19 from Z.

Actually, we have 26 alphabets if we give numbering for each alphabet in a sequence. That is;

A B C D ....
1 2 3 4 .....

Then M is 13th letter 26-13=13.
And for O is 26-15=11.

Similarly,
For H 26-8=18.
For J 26-10=16.

When we will count the rest of the digits from O (excluding O) than last alphabet (Z) will be the 11th term. Similarly When we will count the rest of the digits from M (excluding M) the last alphabet (Z) will be 13. On the similar note the same logic applies for H, when we will count rest of the digits from H then Z will be 18th term & for J, Z will be 16th term.

Therefore, 18 16 is the correct answer.

Given-M O:13 11.
According to Alphabets.
M O:13 15.
Now,
Compare first-13+13=26.
Compare second-11+15=26.
Now according to alphabets-H J:8 10.
Now add 18 into 8 to get 26.
Add 16 into 10 to get 26.

Means addition should be 26 only.

The difference between MO and HJ is 5 letters. So adding 5 to 13.

11 will get 18 and 16.

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".
