  • Ans. 

    Given an infinite staircase with a broken kth step, find the maximum height we can reach in n rounds of jumping i steps.

    • We can start by jumping the maximum number of steps in each round until we reach the broken step.

    • After reaching the broken step, we can discard the i steps that would land us on the broken step and jump the remaining steps.

    • We can continue this pattern until we reach the maximum height we can reach wit
