Hey @Ankur-Ankur-937479863269311 , 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!
