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

THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS :

SUM OF THE POSITIONAL VALUE × NUMBER OF VOWELS

ALPINE

= 1  + 12 + 16 + 9 + 14 + 5

= 57

= 57 × 3 = 171

AND

SPRING

= 19  + 16 + 18 + 9 + 14 + 7

= 83

= 83 × 1 = 83

SIMILARLY

CAPITAL

= 3 + 1 + 16  + 9 + 20 + 1 + 1  + 12

= 62

= 62 × 3 = 186
