@nitheesha39
Your logic is not right
suppose i have to fill n=5 boxes what will be the minimum number of balls req to give each box at least one ball and number of balls in each boxes are distinct.
O O O O O
O O O O
O O O
O O
O
i will distribute in this manner to have minimum balls.
which will be (K*(K+1))/2;

@dpcoder_007
The given code has a test case as n=30 and k=3; the logic you gave me is not working with that case.

@nitheesha39
n=30 and k=3 boxes ,how much minimum u needed to make all boxes distinct its (k * (k+1))/2 that is 6 and u have 30 balls which is greater than 6 so the answer will be yes u can make .
Like for this case i’ll go like this
O
OO
OOO…(and rest 30-6 balls too in this box).
hope u got the logic now.
