Description
1. Captain America and Iron Man are fighting but instead of collecting other superheroes, they plan on
collecting ranges. You have n ranges and have been assigned the task of dividing the ranges between the
two teams. Every range i has a left limit li and a right limit ri. You have to divide the groups in such a way
that, there is no pair of ranges, each from a different group which have a common point. However, ranges
assigned to the same group may have a common point. Each range should belong to exactly one group. You
have to print IM if you assign a range to Team Iron Man and print CA if you assign the range to Team Captain
America. If an assignment is impossible, print -1. There is no restriction on the number of ranges that you
can assign to a team. But the assignment cannot be too skewed also, meaning that out n ranges, you can’t
give (n -1) ranges to one team and the remaining 1 range to the other team. Note that for a given set of
ranges, multiple assignments are possible. Determine any one of them. If you see that the only possible
assignment of ranges is to give (n – 1) range to one team and the remaining range to the other team, then
you can report it to be your output. But if some alternate assignment is also possible, then the alternate one
should be reported. Duplicate ranges can be present also.
Input:
The first line contains one integer T (1 ≤ T ≤ 50000) — the number of queries. Each query contains description
of the set of ranges. Queries are independent. First line of each query contains a single integer n (2 ≤ n ≤
105) — the number of segments. It is guaranteed that ∑n over all queries does not exceed 105. Each of the
next n lines contains two integers li, ri (1 ≤ li ≤ ri ≤ 2⋅105) for range i.
Example
Input:
3
2
5 5
2 3
3
3 5
2 3
2 3

3 3
4 4
5 5
Comment: Here there are total 3 queries, i.e., there are 3 sets of ranges. The first set contains 2 ranges – (5,
5) and (2, 3). The second set contains 3 ranges – (3, 5), (2, 3) and (2, 3). The third set contains 3 ranges – (3,
3), (4, 4), (5, 5).
Output:
CA IM
-1
IM IM CA
Explanation:
For the first query, since only two ranges (n = 2) are present, you have to assign one range to team IM and
one to team CA. For the second query, no assignment is possible because of the presence of the common
point. For the last query, since n = 3, you have to give two ranges, (i.e, n – 1) to one team and the remaining
to the other. For the first and last query, no other assignment was possible.
2. Naruto and Sasuke are given two arrays A1 and A2 of size N and M respectively. Since they are in a team,
they need to be in sync. Kakashi, as their Sensei, decided to sort A1 in such a way that the relative of the
elements will be same as that in A2. If there are some elements left in A2, their friend Sakura will append
them at last in sorted order. It is also given that the number of elements in A2 is smaller than or equal to
number of elements in A1 and A2 has all distinct elements. A1 can have duplicate elements. Moreover, A2
can have a few elements which are not present in A1.
Input:
N M
A1
A2
Output:
The final array.
Constraints:
1 ≤ N, M ≤ 106
|A1|<= 106, |A2| <= 106
Example:
Input:
11 4
2 1 2 5 7 1 9 3 6 8 8

3. Aroma is a very unique restaurant. They don’t ask for money, but instead request you to carry out certain
operations on their behalf. They ask you to insert an element into an already sorted list, delete an element
from the sorted list, swap pairs of elements of the list and finally sort the list after swapping(s). You are also
required to print the list after every operation. Note that you are not allowed to have vacant positions in the
list after deletions and no insertion will be done after swapping (since after every insertion the list needs to
remain sorted). Insertions are possible after deletions. After swapping(s), deletions are however, possible.
At any point of time, the list will contain only unique elements, assuming that you will not be asked to insert
a duplicate element in the list at any point of time. Moreover, you do not know apriori, how many insertion
and deletions you will be asked to carry out.
Input:
The first line contains the elements for the existing list in sorted (ascending) order.
The second line contains the number N of operations to be carried out.
Following N lines contain the details of the operations
● For insertion - I Number to be inserted
● For deletion - D Number to be deleted
● For swapping - SW Numbers to be swapped
● For sorting - SO
Output:
The intermediate array after every operation

4. Aman, Ketan and Shreya always hangout on marine drive. But whenever they ask Apoorva to hang out,
she is busy doing homework. They want to help her finish the homework faster. Can you help them
understand Apoorva’s homework so that she can hang out with them?
Consider an array of arr of n distinct integers. Any two elements of the array can be swapped any number
of times. An array is beautiful if the sum of all |arr[i] - arr[i-1]| (absolute value) for 1 <= i <= (n -1) is minimal.
Given the array arr, determine the minimum number of swaps that should be performed in order to make
the array beautiful. Note that you are not allowed to make any extra swaps other than what you are
displaying as output.
Input:
The first line contains the number of elements of the array.
The second line contains the elements of the array
Output:
The number of swaps required to make the array beautiful.
Example
Input:
4
7 15 12 3
Output:
2
Explanation:
After first swap 3 15 12 7
After second swap 3 7 12 15
Input:

After second swap 1 2 3 5
5. Klay Thompson is one the best 3-pointer shooters in the history of NBA. He is so much obsessed with the
number 3 that his team mates gave him a task. They gave him an array of numbers 0-9 (not necessarily
containing all the 10 digits and not necessarily containing only unique digits in sorted order) and asked him
to come up with the largest number that is divisible by 3 using these digits. If no such number is possible, he
will have to say “No such number”. The number of digits present in the output can vary between 1 and the
size of the array. You are allowed to use any element of the input array only once.
Input:
The first line contains the size of the array.
The second line contains the elements of the array.
Output:
The largest number divisible by 3.
Example
Input:
5
5 4 3 1 1
Output:
4311 (Not possible to construct a number divisible by 3 consisting of all the 5 digits. You cannot create a
number consisting of more than one 3 or 4 since these digits are only present once in the input array.
However, 1 is present twice in the output since the input array contained two 1s.)
Input:
5
0 5 5 5 7
Output:
5550 (Not possible to construct a number divisible by 3 consisting of all the 5 digits. Also, you cannot use
more than three 5s.)
6. You are given an unsorted array a. You have to find out all the unordered pairs in the array. An unordered
pair is defined as a pair (a[i], a[j]), such that i < j but a[i] > a[j]. For example, if the array a contains 2, 3, 1, 4,
then the unordered pairs are (2, 1) and (3, 1).
Input:
The first line contains n (the size of the array).
The second line contains n different integers as elements of a.
Output:
The number of unordered pairs in less than O(n
2
) time.
Example:
Input:
5
2 4 1 3 5
Output:
3
7. You are given an undirected, unweighted, connected graph without self-loops consisting of n vertices. For
convenience, we will assume that the graph vertices are indexed using integers from 1 to n. One day, you
counted the shortest distances from one of the graph vertices to all others and wrote them in an array d.
Thus, element d[i] of the array shows the shortest distance from the vertex you chose to vertex number i.
Then you lost the graph and also forgot which vertex you chose as the source. Form the graph using the
array d.
Input:
One integer n.
The array d of size n.
Output:
If there is no such graph print -1. Otherwise output the integer m which is the number of edges. In each of
the next m lines, print two integers, ai and bi,separated by a space, denoting the edge that connects vertices
with numbers ai and bi. The graph shouldn’t contain self-loops and should have only one edge between a
pair of vertices. If there are multiple possible answers, print any one of them. m >= |d| meaning you are
allowed to add a few extra edges apart from the information derived from the array d keeping in mind the
constraint that you have to create exactly one cycle and that cycle should consist of the minimum number
of edges. In other words, if multiple cycles are possible, you are allowed to include the one containing the
minimum number of edges. If there is a tie in this regard, you can select any one of the cycles. You are not
allowed to alter the shortest distances of the original graph, i.e., in the graph that you will construct
(containing the cycle), the shortest distances of every vertex from the source should be the same as those
present in the array d. In case, no graph can be constructed using the given input and also keeping in mind
the above mentioned constraints, report -1 as output.
Example:
Input:
3
0 1 1
Output:
3
1 2
1 3
3 2
Explanation:
Here only one cycle is possible.
Input:
5
1 0 2 1 1
Output:
5
1 2
1 3
2 4
2 5
1 4
Explanation: (1 4) is the additional edge. Instead of (1 4), (2 3), (1 5), (4 5) could also have been selected.
However, (3 4) would have been a wrong choice.
8. It is Christmas time and you have offered to be the Santa Clause for your village. You want to gift the
children XBOX or PS4. For this, you will have to buy PS4s and XBOXs, but you want to spend as little as
possible. Now, you know the demand of each child. Some of them are Sony fanatics and only want PS4, some
of them love Microsoft products and only want XBOXs and some of them are happy with either of them, i.e.,
you can gift them any. You have found a shop which sells both PS4s and XBOXs at variable prices. Different
types of PS4s come in different prices and so do different types of XBOXs. The total number of devices sold
by the shop is m. You want to buy a set of XBOXs and PS4s such that you want to maximize the number of
children you can gift (it is not guaranteed that you can gift all the children) and minimize the amount you
will be spending. However, your priority is to gift as many children as possible. A child does not care about
the variety or cost of a PS4 or an XBOX.
Input:
First line contains a, b, c. a denotes the number of children who want a PS4, b denotes the number of
children who want an XBOX and c denotes the number of children will do with either (0 ≤ a, b, c ≤ 10^5).
The next line contains m (the number of devices the shop sells). (0 ≤ m ≤ 10^5).
Each of the next m lines describes the device. The i
th line contains first integer val[i] (1 ≤ val[i] ≤ 100) —
the cost of the i
th device, then the type of device (PS4 or XBOX).
Output:
Output two integers. The number of children you will be able to gift (maximize the number) and the cost
you will be spending (minimize the cost).
Example:
Input:
2 1 1
4
5 PS4
6 XBOX
3 XBOX
7 XBOX
Output:
3 14
Explanation: 2 children want PS4 but the shop only has 1 PS4. So 1 child from a category will be left
unsatisfied. Only 1 wants XBOX and only 1 will do with either of them. So you will buy 1 PS4 worth 5 INR (to
satisfy a). Then, you will get 1 XBOX worth 3 INR (to satisfy b). Then, you will get another XBOX worth 6 INR
(to satisfy c). Total 3 devices worth 5+3+6 = 14 INR.
9. You are performing a Physics experiment. You have recorded n measurements in your notebook. After
that, you remembered that the largest and the smallest measurements should differ by more than two
times. However, you do not have enough time to record all the measurements and want to somehow
manage with the n measurements that you have. You will erase some of the recorded measurements, so as
to make the largest and the smallest results of the remaining measurements differ in no more than two
times. In other words, if the remaining measurements (after removal) have the smallest value x, and the
largest value y, then the inequality y ≤ 2·x must be fulfilled. Also, the largest and the smallest measurements
should appear only once in the measurement set. If that is not the case with your recorded set of
measurements, you will have to ensure that as well. Of course, to avoid the teacher’s suspicion, you want to
remove the minimum number of measurements.
Input:
First line contains n, the size of array.
The second line contains n integers c1, c2, …, cn (1 ≤ ci ≤ 5000) — the recorded measurements.
Output:
Print a single integer — the minimum number of measurements you will have to remove
Example:
Input:
6
4 5 3 8 3 7 8
Output:
3
Explanation: Two 3 and one 8 is removed. Now the largest is 8 and the smallest is 4.
