This question was asked in Flipkart\'s 2020 offcampus new grad 2021 SDE1, India hiring. The contest which was hosted on AMCAT platform had a total of three questions. The first 2 were relatively easy and involved concepts like hashing and sorting. This was one question I couldn\'t solve.\n**Question**\n\n![image](https://assets.leetcode.com/users/images/9c9fbfee-3e95-4847-b127-3ddd48b190ee_1600628739.0429494.png)\n![image](https://assets.leetcode.com/users/images/e9901389-eb4a-4fc7-917a-35fb0bce2002_1600628785.481432.png)\n![image](https://assets.leetcode.com/users/images/2392a8ef-c023-4b4c-a1c8-af27d95f3580_1600628909.0078323.png)\n![image](https://assets.leetcode.com/users/images/61dcda74-5c99-41e3-b963-a97008eab60b_1600628941.394579.png)\n\nAny suggestions on how to solve this would be welcome!\n\n**Edit-1**\nFor people asking how I got this opportunity, Flipkart every year conducts a team based hackathon(this year everything was virtual). It\'s called flipkart GRID challenge. Every team that reaches the 3rd round, is given a chance to apply for full time sde roles as well as internships at flipkart while they are in college.
