Invitation to ICM Technex 2020 - IIT (BHU) Varanasi

Hello CodeChef Community,

I would like to invite you all to the International Coding Marathon 2020 , under the banner of Technex’20, IIT (BHU) Varanasi.

Technex is the annual techno-management fest of Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi organized from February 14 — 16, 2020.

International Coding Marathon is the flagship event of Byte The Bits, the set of programming events organized under Technex. It will take place on Sunday, 16th Feb 2020, 14:00 IST.

The problemset has been prepared by Anshul Asawa, Bhagya Kamal Jain, Mihil Gupta , Naman Jain and me (Abhas Jain).

I would like to thank Jatin Yadav and Arjun Arul for their invaluable help in testing and preparation of the contest.

Some of our previous contests :

ICM Technex 2017 and Codeforces Round #400 (Div. 1 + Div. 2, combined)

ICM Technex 2018 and Codeforces Round #463 (Div. 1 + Div. 2, combined)

ICM Technex 2019

Participants will have 3 hours to solve 7-8 problems. The scoring will be ICPC style. Contest will be rated for everyone!

Good luck everyone! Hope to see you on the leaderboard.

“MARATHON”-3 hrs

Hey guys, can you please explain why did the 3rd problem was deleted in last year’s contest? I mean what went wrong?

It is a global coding marathon. But 95% programmer are from india.:grin:

Every rating change takes place with respect to the initial ratings so for all these contests would the base rating be our current rating ?

Nice :ok_hand:t2: The Problems were interesting, btw how did you guys do 4th One? :thinking:

ig the constraints were wrong

Which question you are taking about?

I applied binary search on the answer. Here is my code.
Btw, how did you solved the 3rd one? What was your thought process in that?

the jee one

I could not solve the 4th one. how did you solve it? any idea?

Diffrentiate it by hand first. Set min to and max to pi/2. Do binary search, if slope is negative, go ahead, if slope is positive go behind. Then compute the value for f(x)

How to solve Third question.?
Are These Equal

For “Are these equal”

I checked two things

  1. The sum of elements must be a multiple of k

  2. The minimum no of operations would be equal to maximum element in array and The maximum operations would be simply sum//k
    Then i just checked if minimum is less than or equal to maximum value.

I just checked these two condition for Output

Code
        int n,k;
        cin>>n>>k;
        int a[n];
        for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
            cin >> a[i];
        sort(a,a+n);
        int sum = accumulate(a,a+n,0);
        int maxi=a[n-1];
        int temp=sum/k;
        if(sum%k==0 && temp>=maxi)
            cout << "YES" << endl;
        else
            cout << "NO" << endl;
