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