Print all Subsequences of String which Start with Vowel and End with Consonant.

Given a string return all possible subsequences which start with vowel and end with consonant. A String is a subsequence of a given String, that is generated by deleting some character of a given string without changing its order.
Examples:

Input : 'abc'
Output : ab, ac, abc

Input : 'aab'
Output : ab, aab

Explanation of the Algorithm: 

Step 1: Iterate over the entire String
Step 2: check if the ith character for vowel
Step 3: If true iterate the string from the end,
        if false move to next iteration
Step 4: check the jth character for consonent
        if false move to next iteration 
        if true perform the following 
Step 5: Add the substring starting at index i and
        ending at index j to the hastset.
Step 6: Iterate over the substring drop each character 
        and recur to generate all its subString

Output:


[ef, ab, ac, aef, abc, abf, af, acf, abcef, abcf, acef, abef]
