for the test case

2 4 6 8 9
10 30 40 50 80

my answer is coming 390.
but by manual calculation it should be 340 for h=8.

The high in the binary search search must be set to mid+1 when p<=m and low must be set to mid when n<=m.Here is your AC solution.Here

My code also works.

    import java.util.*;
    public class KOPC12A {
public static void main(String[] args) {
	Scanner s=new Scanner(System.in);
	int t=s.nextInt();
	while(t--!=0)
	{
		int n=s.nextInt();
		int heights[]=new int[n];
		int costs[]=new int[n];
		int max=Integer.MIN_VALUE;
		for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
		{
			heights[i]=s.nextInt();
			max=Math.max(max, heights[i]);
		}
		for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
		{
			costs[i]=s.nextInt();
		}
		
		int l=0,h=max;
		long ans=Long.MAX_VALUE;
		while(l<=h)
		{
			int mid=(l+h)/2;
			long amid1=cost(heights,costs,mid);
			long amid2=Long.MAX_VALUE;
			if(mid+1<=max)
			amid2=cost(heights,costs,mid+1);
			
			ans=Math.min(ans, amid1);
			if(amid2<amid1)
			{
				l=mid+1;
			}
			else
			{	
				h=mid-1;
			}
			
		}
		System.out.println(ans);
	}

}

public static long cost(int[] heights,int[] costs, int height)
{
	long sum=0;
	for(int i=0;i<heights.length;i++)
	{
		sum+=Math.abs(heights[i]-height)*costs[i];
	}
	return sum;
}

}
