At 05:55, why we are taking start/minimum as 40? Request you to please elaborate/explain this.
Doubt in Book Allocation problem
Hey @gambhirrahul0
you have to minimize the maximum number of pages that can be assigned to students.
if no of student is = to n(no of books) then each student read one book
and the maximum number of pages that can be assigned to students is through the book which has max pages means arr[n-1]
which is in this case is 40.
Moreover, The minimum possible answer cannot be less than maximum of given pages,
let n=5 and pages are 10,40,20,30 then answer cannot be less than 40,as atleast one of the students will be assigned that 40 page unit!
If this resolves ur query then please mark it as resolved
