Q2. 
Orange Rotting Problem Statement
Consider a grid containing oranges. Each cell in this grid can hold one of three integer values:
• Value 0: Represents an empty cell.
• Value 1: Represents a fresh orang...read more
Ans. 
The task is to determine the minimum time required for all fresh oranges to become rotten in a grid.
• Create a queue to store the rotten oranges and their time of rotting.

• Iterate through the grid to find the initial rotten oranges and add them to the queue.

• Perform BFS by popping each rotten orange from the queue, rot adjacent fresh oranges, and add them to the queue with updated time.

• Continue until the queue is empty, ke...read more

Ans. 
The problem is to determine whether a given string can be considered a K-Palindrome by removing up to 'k' characters.
• Iterate through the string from both ends and check if characters match, if not increment removal count

• If removal count is less than or equal to k, return True, else return False

• Use dynamic programming to optimize the solution by storing subproblem results
