You are tasked with scheduling meetings in a single meeting room. Given N meetings, each with a start time Start[i] and end time End[i], determine the maximum number of meetings...read more
Ans. 
1. Sort all pairs(Meetings) in increasing order of the second number(Finish time) of each pair.
2. Select the first meeting of the sorted pair as the first Meeting in the room and push it into the result vector and set a variable time_limit(say) with the second value(Finishing time) of the first selected meeting.
3. Iterate from the second pair to the last pair of the array and if the value of the first element(Starting ...read more

Q2. 
Partition to K Equal Sum Subsets Problem
Given an array of integers and a positive integer 'K', determine if it is possible to divide the array into 'K' non-empty subsets such that the sum of elements in ...read more
Ans. 
1. If K is 1, then we already have our answer, the complete array is only a subset with the same sum. 
2. If N < K, then it is not possible to divide the array into subsets with an equal sum because we can’t divide the array into more than N parts. 
3. If the sum of the array is not divisible by K, then it is not possible to divide the array. We will proceed only if k divides the sum. Our goal reduces to div...read more

Q4. 
Sort a "K" Sorted Doubly Linked List
Given a doubly-linked list with N nodes, where each node’s position deviates at most K positions from its position in the sorted list, your task is to sort this given ...read more
Ans. 
Sort the given doubly linked list using the insertion sort technique. While inserting each element in the sorted part of the list, there will be at most k swaps to place the element to its correct position since it is at most k steps away from its correct position.

Q5. 
Duplicate Subtrees Problem Statement
Given a binary tree, return the root values of all duplicate subtrees. Two subtrees are considered duplicate if they have the same structure with identical node values...read more
Ans. 
The idea is to use hashing. We store in order traversals of subtrees in a hash. Since simple inorder traversal cannot uniquely identify a tree, we use symbols like ‘(‘ and ‘)’ to represent NULL nodes.
