26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
*********************************************
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
