what’s the wrong with my code it’s showing TLE

It is difficult to read, please send the link or the formatted code. People tend to ignore posts with non-formatted code.

I think the problem in the line

while(t-) {...}

If it doesn’t help, you can take help of my solution

I will give you a basic idea.
We have to greedily choose those bit position for which total contribution in the answer is maximum

Hope it helps.
Cheers.

long long z=countbits(g);// z store the number of bits of maximum of the array
long long r=pow(2,z);/
r store the value till which we get the x and after that r value we get 0 because there will be increment in bits by 1 example if maximum of array is 5 then number
of bits in 5 is 3 then 2^3=8 then we will find the x till 8 becuse from one bit will increment i.e 1000 and 5=101 so and of any elememt of arry with greater than 8 will be zero*/

for(long long j=0;j<r;j++)// this loop will work till 2^(number of bits in binary reprsentation present in the array)
{

if(d==1)// that j value has exacctly k bits equal to 1 in binay reprsentation
