I have given two input description given for two different problems in codeforces.

Description-1:-

Each test consists of multiple test cases. The first line contains a single integer t (1≤t≤104) — the number of test cases. The description of the test cases follows.

The first line of each test case contains a single integer n (2≤n≤10^5) — the length of the array a.

The second line of each test case contains n integers a1,a2,…,an(0≤ai<n) — the elements of the array a.

It is guaranteed that the sum of n over all test cases does not exceed 10^5.

Description-2:-

The first line contains a single integer t (1≤t≤5⋅104) — the number of test cases.

The only line of each test case contains a single integer n (1≤n≤10^5).

Here my doubt is can we perform O(n) on both the questions or not and performing O(n) operations on 2nd one is getting me TLE. So how should i approach questions based on their complexity?

How important is this line in 1st input description:- It is guaranteed that the sum of n over all test cases does not exceed 10^5.

PS:- Thank You! my doubt has been clarified and what we can understand from this line is the sum of n over all testcases doesn't exceed 10^5 and we can perform O(N) operations on this problem within given time limit so the total numbers inputting will be T+N i.e 10^4+10^5 not T*N i.e 10^4*10^5 which can be done within 1 sec...
