Hello Codeforces Community!!!

I invite you all to take part in Hackerearth's March Easy contest.The contest will be held on 1st March,2018 at 22:00 IST.

Problems have been set by allcodeAC and tested by trytolearn and me.

You will be given 5 algorithmic problems to solve in 3 hours. Partial scoring will be used (you get points for passing each test case). Although the contest is targeted towards beginners, we hope even experienced problem-solvers find one or two problems to be interesting. The contest is rated and prizes will be awarded to the top 3 beginners(i.e. Programmers with a rating of 1600 or less before the challenge starts).

Good luck and have fun.

The third problem looks really similar to this: https://agc018.contest.atcoder.jp/tasks/agc018_c. Can the same solution be applied on both problems?

    No...You are not asked to select all the people...there are constraints on that too...I dont think a greedy solution will pass...still you can give it a try..If a greedy solution is possible then please discuss that solution over here...will get to learn something new!!
