I’m only getting the correct answer in one of the test cases.
Where is my mistake?

Hey Arsh,

  1. don’t sort the array
  2. scale ans (multiply by t) in last
  3. check if b[i]>mid then return false
  4. take all types as long long
    here is debugged code

Hi, Thanks for the response. What is the problem being caused by sorting of the array? I understood the problems in the rest of cases except this one.

sections needs to be painted in contiguous fashion, sorting the array destroys the order!
