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

Given a string return all possible subsequences which start with a vowel and end with a 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 consonant
               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 hashset.
• Step 6: Iterate over the substring drop each character  and recur to generate all its subString
