Policy based data structures

PROBLEM :
You are given an array A[1……N] of length N.Your task is to find the number of K length subarrays such that average of the subarray is greater than or equal to the median value of that subarray in sorted format. Also the median and average must both be prime or non prime.

Median of an even length subarray would be the value at the smaller index of the two. For eg: Median of {2,3,4,5} would be 3, not 4. Consider the integer(floored) value of average for calculations. You have to answer T independent test cases.

EXPLANATION :
First calculate/ precompute all the primes and non-primes using SieveOfEratosthenes. After that, there are various possible solutions.
Two of them are mentioned below :

Solution 1 :
The problem can be solved using policy based data structures/ ordered_set in the following way :
Calculate the sum, average and median for the initial K elements.
Store these elements in an ordered_set.
Then loop for elements from i+k to n-1.
So first remove the i th element from the set and add (i+k) th element to the set.
The ordered_set will perform all operations in O(logn) time and hence the median value can easily be calculated from the set.
Then check for the prime/non-prime and average >= median conditions, if they are satisfied, add to the count, else don’t add to the count.

Solution 2 :
The problem can be solved using two maps in the following way :
Store the first half of the subarray in map1 and second half in map2.
Calculate the sum, average and median for the initial K elements.
Distribute these elements evenly in the two maps.
Then loop for elements from i+k to n-1.
So first remove the i th element accordingly (explained in Solution 2 code) from either map1 or map2.
Then add (i+k) th element accordingly (explained in Solution 2 code) in either map1 or map2.
Make changes in the subarray sum and average accordingly.
So, the median value for a subarray will always be the last value of map1.
Then check for the prime/non-prime and average >= median conditions, if they are satisfied, add to the count, else don’t add to the count.

This problem can also be solved using Merge Sort Tree.

When I am trying to submit the following code which is similar to editorial’s submission. I am getting WA.
can somebody help me out where I am wrong?
