Given an array colors representing colors for vertices of a regular n-gon polygon, we need to find the number of special subsets that meet specific conditions. Each vertex is randomly colored with one of n different colors. Problem Conditions A special subset must satisfy these requirements: The subset size must be at least two When we remove vertices in the subset (and their adjacent edges), the remaining vertices form continuous paths None of these paths should contain two vertices of the same color If the answer is large, return the result modulo 10^9 + ...

Suppose we have a grid with n rows and m columns. Amal and Bimal are playing a strategic game on this grid with specific movement rules. Game Rules The game follows these rules: Amal places a white lotus tile somewhere in the top row Bimal places a caterpillar tile somewhere in the bottom row Amal starts first, and they play alternately Amal can move to any of the 8 adjacent cells (including diagonals) Bimal's caterpillar can only move left, right, or stay in the same position Amal's goal is to catch Bimal using minimum moves Bimal's ...

Suppose there is a dangerous virus that grows rapidly. The probability of virus cells growing by a factor x is 0.5, and the probability of growing by a factor y is also 0.5. Starting with a single virus cell, we need to calculate the expected number of virus cells after time t. If the result is large, we return it modulo 10^9+7. The expected growth factor at each time step is (x + y) / 2, since each factor has probability 0.5. Problem Analysis At each time step, the virus can grow by factor x or y ...

Suppose we have four numbers a, b, c and d. We need to find the number of pairs (x, y) that satisfy the equation: x² + y² = (x*a) + (y*b) where x is in range [1, c] and y is in range [1, d]. For example, if a = 2, b = 3, c = 2, d = 4, then the output will be 1 because one valid pair is (1, 1). Mathematical Approach We can rearrange the equation x² + y² = x*a + y*b as a quadratic in y: y² - b*y + ...

We need to find the last digit of a sequence S for a given value n. The sequence S is defined by a mathematical formula involving powers of 2. Understanding the Problem The sequence formula is complex, but we can simplify it to find only the last digit. For n = 2, we calculate specific terms and sum them to get 126, where the last digit is 6. Algorithm Steps To solve this problem efficiently ? Initialize total = 0 and temp = 1 While temp ≤ n, add (2^temp mod 10) to total ...

Given an array, we need to find all possible non-empty subarrays, calculate the sum of each subarray, then compute the sum of 2 raised to the power of each subarray sum. The result should be returned modulo (109 + 7). For an array with n elements, there are (2n - 1) non-empty subarrays. For each subarray sum Si, we calculate 2Si and sum all these values to get P = 2S1 + 2S2 + 2S3 + ... + 2S(2n-1). Example Walkthrough For the array A = [2, 2, 3], the non-empty subarrays and their sums are ? ...

Suppose there is a number line from 1 to n. At first we are at position 0, jump one step to go 1, then jump two places to reach at position 3, then jump three positions to reach at 6 and so on. We have to check whether maintaining this pattern, we can reach at position n or not. So, if the input is like n = 21, then the output will be True, because 1+2+3+4+5+6 = 21 Approach To solve this, we will follow these steps − Calculate j := (1 + square root of (1+8*n)) / 2 If |j - int part of j|

Suppose we have an undirected graph G with n nodes. The cost of a simple undirected graph is the sum of the costs of its nodes, where the cost of a node is Dk (D is its degree). Given n and k values, we need to find the sum of the costs of all possible simple undirected graphs with n nodes. The result may be very large, so we return the result modulo 1005060097. Example Walkthrough If n = 3 and k = 2, there are eight simple graphs with 3 nodes: One graph with ...

Suppose we have a set A where all elements from 1 to n are present. And P(A) represents all permutations of elements present in A. We have to find number of elements in P(A) which satisfies the given conditions: For all i in range [1, n], A[i] is not same as i There exists a set of k indices {i1, i2, ... ik} such that A[ij] = ij+1 for all j < k and A[ik] = i1 (cyclic) So, if the input is like n = 3 k = 2, then the output will be 0. ...
