Hi! I was trying to solve that problem but it gave me WA on subtask 3. Reading the official solution, I realized that it was pretty similar to what I did, but verifying that the two components have a size more than a
. I verified that the remaining component (the one not used to assign vertices to A
) had a size more than or equal to b
.
Could someone tell me why the solution works? I just don't get it. Logically speaking (or writing lol), it would be impossible to assign b
vertices from a subgraph of size less than b
.
Update: Thinking very much, I realized why it works. Please correct me if I am wrong. If the size of the remaining component is greater or equal to a
and lower than b
, then we can use such component to assign vertices to A
and the "original" one to assign vertices to B
, because the size of the original component is greater than (a+b+c)-b = (a+c) >= b
(remember b <= c
so b <= a+c
).
