@siddardha5c0
It is given that the exactly x students passes the exam and the array is sorted in descending order.
and all the array elements are dinstinct.
So A0>A1>A2…>A[n-1].
now u have to find the maximum value of passing marks.
which will be the score of the student that just passes the exam -1.
Which will be A[x-1]-1.
