*************************************

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

SUM OF PLACE VALUE × 2

AS

L → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 12

I → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 9

L → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 12

Y → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 25

12 + 9 + 12 + 25 = 58

= 58 × 2

= 116

AND

L → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 12

O → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 15

T → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 20

U → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 21

S → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 19

12 + 15 + 20 + 21 + 19 = 87

= 87 × 2

= 174

SIMILARLY

T → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 20

U → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 21

L → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 12

I → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 19

P → (POSITIONAL VALUE) → 16

20 + 21 + 12 + 19 + 16= 78

= 78 × 2

= 156
