Maximum Sum Increasing Subsequence of Length K Problem Statement

You are given an array NUMS consisting of N integers and an integer K. Your task is to determine the maximum sum of an increasing subsequence of length K.

Input:

 The first line contains an integer T, representing the number of test cases. 
For each test case, the first line contains two space-separated integers N and K, denoting the size of the array and the subsequence length, respectively.
The second line contains N space-separated integers, which are the elements of the array NUMS.

Output:

 For each test case, print a single integer on a new line, representing the maximum sum of an increasing subsequence of length K. 
Print "-1" if no such subsequence exists.

Example:

Input:
T = 1
N = 5, K = 3
NUMS = [1, 2, 5, 4, 8]

Output:
15

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 10
  • 1 <= N <= 500
  • 1 <= K <= N
  • -10^9 <= NUMS[i] <= 10^9 for each i
  • Time Limit: 1 second

Note:

  • The array may contain duplicate elements.
  • The array can also contain negative integers.
  • Every element of the subsequence must be greater than or equal to the previous element.
  • You do not need to print anything; just implement the function.
