ABA12C - Buying Apples!
Harish went to a supermarket to buy exactly ‘k’ kilograms apples for his ‘n’ friends. The supermarket was really weird. The pricing of items was very different. He went to the Apples section and enquired about the prices. The salesman gave him a card in which he found that the prices of apples were not per kg. The apples were packed into covers, each containing ‘x’ kg of apples, x > 0 and ‘x’ is an integer. An ‘x’ kg packet would be valued at ‘y’ rupees. So, the placard contained a table with an entry ‘y’ denoting the price of an ‘x’ kg packet. If ‘y’ is -1 it means that the corresponding packet is not available. Now as apples are available only in packets, he decides to buy at most ‘n’ packets for his ‘n’ friends i.e he will not buy more than n packets of apples.
Harish likes his friends a lot and so he does not want to disappoint his friends. So now, he will tell you how many friends he has and you have to tell him the minimum amount of money he has to spend for his friends.
Input
The first line of input will contain the number of test cases, C.
Each test case will contain two lines.
The first line containing N and K, the number of friends he has and the amount of Apples in kilograms which he should buy.
The second line contains K space separated integers in which the ith integer specifies the price of a ‘i’kg apple packet. A value of -1 denotes that the corresponding packet is unavailable.
- 0 < N <= 100
- 0 < K <= 100
- 0 < price <= 1000
Output
The output for each test case should be a single line containing the minimum amount of money he has to spend for his friends. Print -1 if it is not possible for him to satisfy his friends.
Sample I/O
Input: 2 3 5 -1 -1 4 5 -1 5 5 1 2 3 4 5 Output: -1 5
Explanation of test cases:
- As there are only 3 and 4kg packets in the shop, he will not be able to satisfy his friends as he would not be able to buy exactly 5kg of apples.
- He can buy five 1kg packet as he has to buy 5 kg. So the min money he should spend is 5.

got AC from recursive solution without memoization. I think test cases aren't weak considering given constraints Last edit: 2024-07-27 18:32:07 |

solved both in considering n and without it. top down.

is anyone there who solved it using recursive dp ? |

Actually according to the problem we should include the condition that no. of packets is not greator than n, this case can be treated easily but the test cases are weak as if do not include that condition then also it will get accepted. |

The description of this problem is rubbish. Not only it is barely understandable for a normal human being, it is also misleading.

write a code without worry about N ... and get AC....
