Find Row With Maximum 1's in a Sorted 2D Matrix
You are provided with a 2D matrix containing only the integers 0 or 1. The matrix has dimensions N x M, and each row is sorted in non-decreasing order. Your objective is to identify the 0-based index of the first row that contains the maximum number of 1's.
Input:
The first line contains an integer 'T' denoting the number of test cases. Each test case consists of the following:
- The first line contains two integers 'N' and 'M', representing the number of rows and columns, respectively.
- N subsequent lines contain M space-separated integers that define the matrix.
Output:
For each test case, output the index of the row that contains the maximum number of 1's.
Example:
Input:
2
3 3
0 1 1
1 1 1
0 0 1
4 4
0 0 0 1
0 1 1 1
1 1 1 1
0 0 0 0
Output:
1
2
Explanation:
- In Test Case 1: The maximum number of 1's is in row 1 with 3 ones.
- In Test Case 2: The maximum number of 1's is in row 2 with 3 ones.
Constraints:
1 ≤ T ≤ 50
1 ≤ N, M ≤ 100
0 ≤ ARR[i][j] ≤ 1
where ARR[i][j] represents the matrix elements.- Execution time should not exceed 1 second.
Note:
If multiple rows have the same number of 1's, return the row with the smallest index.
