We are given with a sum of sides of a cuboid. A cuboid has three sides length, breadth and height. The volume of cuboid is calculated as a product of all three sides.Volume of Cuboid = Length X Breadth X HeightThe maximum volume can be achieved if all three sides are as close as possible.Let’s now understand what we have to do using an example −For Example The problem given here provides us with the sum of sides, say S. And let sides be L, B, H. In order to maximize the volume we have to find the sides as close ... Read More

The task is to maximize the value of number A by replacing some of its digits with digits present in another number B. No digits will be replaced if A’s value cannot be maximized.Note − a digit from B can be used only once.Let’s now understand what we have to do using an example −Input A = “1221” B = “1211”Output Maximum value of A possible 2221Explanation − We here select 2 from B and replace it with the first 1 of A. Here it is the only choice as replacing any other digit of A with either 2 or 1 will ... Read More

For the given two arrays each of size N, the task is to find the maximum sum by choosing X elements from array 1 and Y elements from array 2.Let’s now understand what we have to do using an example −Input arr1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} ; X=2 arr2 = {1, 3, 5, 2, 7}; Y=3Output Maximum sum here is : 24Explanation − We are selecting 2 number(s) from arr1 and 3 from arr2. Largest 2 of arr1 are 4, 5 and largest 3 of arr2 are 3, 5, 7. Total sum of these 5 elements is 24 which is ... Read More

We are given with a matrix of size n x n and a condition that a[i][j] = 0 and the task is to calculate the maximum difference of indices having a[i][j] = 0. So, we can clearly state that there must be at least one zero in a matrix.Input int matrix[][] = {    {0, 1, 1},    {0, 0, 0},    {4, 5, 1}}Output −Maximum difference of indices (i, j) such that A[i][j] = 0 in the given matrix is −Explanation − we have element 0 at matrix[0][0], matrix[1][0], matrix[1][1] and matrix[1][2]. So the maximum difference of indices will be ... Read More

Given the task is to divide an array arr[] into K consecutive sub-arrays and find the maximum possible value of maximum among the minimum of the K consecutive sub-srrays.Input arr[]={2, 8, 4, 3, 9, 1, 5}, K=3Output 9Explanation − The 3 consecutive sub arrays that can made are: {2, 8, 4, 3}, {9}, and {1, 5}The minimum values out of all these arrays are: (2, 9, 1)The maximum value out of these three is 9.Input arr[] = { 8, 4, 1, 9, 11}, K=1Output 11Approach used in the below program as followsIf we look at the task, it can be divided into 3 cases ...

Given the task is to calculate the maximum number of pairs arr[i] + arr[j] that are divisible by K where arr[] is an array containing N integers.Given the condition that a particular index number cannot be used in more than one pair.Inputarr[]={1, 2 ,5 ,8 ,3 }, K=2Output 2Explanation − The desired pairs are: (0, 2), (1, 3) as 1+5=6 and 2+8=10 . Both 6 and 10 are divisible by 2.Alternative answers could be the pairs: (0, 4), (1, 3) or (2, 4), (1, 3) but the answer remains the same, that is, 2.Input arr[]={1 ,3 ,5 ,2 ,3 ,4 }, K=3Output 3Approach ...

According to the problem we are given a set arr[n] where n is the number of integer elements in the set, the task is to find the maximum difference elements which are to be added to obtain the elements in the set. In other words, the difference should be in form of |a-b| where 'a' and 'b' both are in the set and their difference should not be the least. So, we will count the maximum number of differences which are distinct and largest from a set. Let's understand the problem and its solution with help of an example.Input − ... Read More
