It’d be really nice if someone can take up a problem as example and explain the approach of solving it using a persistent segment tree.There are 1-2 problems on codechef but editorials of those problems explain very little about the persistence part.
e.g. for example to solve this problem(or any other problem) using persistent segment tree

what will be the approach i.e. if someone can explain how we are building n segment trees and after that how we are querying,it’ll be very helpful.
