The pattern assigns each letter its alphabetical position, where A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, and so on.
Given that A = 1:
A is the 1st letter of the alphabet, so A = 1 ✓
For ANT = 35, verify the pattern:
A = 1st letter = 1
N = 14th letter = 14
T = 20th letter = 20
Sum = 1 + 14 + 20 = 35 ✓
The value is the sum of alphabetical positions.
For KAS, apply the same pattern:
K = 11th letter = 11
A = 1st letter = 1
S = 19th letter = 19
Sum = 11 + 1 + 19 = 31
Therefore, KAS = 31
