*************************************
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :
GIVEN ALPHABET IS CODED AS REVERSE VALUE × NUMBER OF VOWEL = CODE GIVEN
AS
G(7) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 20
L(12) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 15
O(15) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 12
V(21) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 5
E(5) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 22
= 20 + 15 + 12 + 5 + 22 = 74
= 74 × 2 = 148
SIMILARLY
O(15) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 12
B(2) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 25
D(4) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 23
U(21) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 6
R(18) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 9
A(1) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 26
T(20) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 7
E(5) → (OPPOSITE LETTER POSITIONAL VALUE) → 22
= 12 + 25 + 23 + 6 + 9 + 26 + 7 + 22 =130
= 130 × 4 = 520
