PROBLEM
A geyser has a capacity of X liters of water and a bucket has a capacity of Y liters of water.
One person requires exactly 2 buckets of water to take a bath. Find the maximum number of people that can take bath using water from one completely filled geyser.
QUICK EXPLANATION
The number of people that can take bath is \displaystyle\left\lfloor \frac{X}{2*Y} \right\rfloor.
EXPLANATION
There are the following ways to approach this problem.
Simulation
Let’s try simulating what the problem statement says. While there are at least 2*Y liters of water available, a person takes bath, which increases the count of people by one, and decreases water left by 2*Y. At end of this process, the number of people who could bathe is the maximum possible.
It’d be something like this
read X, Y
waterLeft = X
peopleCount = 0
while (X >= 2*Y):
waterLeft -= 2*X
peopleCount++
print(peopleCount)
The time complexity of this approach is O(X)
By basic math
It is easy to observe that in the above process, we can replace repeated subtraction with a single division. If we divide the water left (X) by the water required per person (2*Y), we get the number of people who can take bath. Since X may or may not be divisible by 2*Y, the number of people can be in fractional form. In that case, floor value needs to be taken.
So the required number of people is \displaystyle\left\lfloor \frac{X}{2*Y} \right\rfloor.
TIME COMPLEXITY
The time complexity is O(1) per test case.
