Using the numerical equivalent of alphabets, we have the following

A=1 P=16 L=12 and E=5

we start at this pattern

-A^2 + P^2 - P^2 + L^2 - E^2

= -(1)^2 + (16)^2 - (16)^2 + (12)^2 - (5)^2
= -1 + 256 - 256 + 144 - 25 = 118

for MONKEY, M=13, O=15, N=14, K=11, E=5 and Y=25

so the formula would be

-(13)^2 + (15)^2 - (14)^2 + (11)^2 - (5)^2 + (25)^2=581

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

z=26

Therefore, A P P L E = 1 16 16 12 5
Square of every number , i.e 1 256 256 144 25
Now, put minus sign(-) before every odd number i.e -1 256 -256 144 -25
At last Add all these numbers you will get 108

Similarly with M O N K E Y = 13 15 14 11 5 25
Square of these numbers = 169 225 196 121 25 625
with minus sign(-) at odd number = -169 225 -196 121 -25 625
After adding we will get 581
