In problem Hanuman and tree it was nowhere mentioned to consider root as 1. Do we just have to guess that part??

Yes, it wasn’t mentioned!

Hence, we also put up an announcement, regarding considering root as “Node-1”. (During the Contest)

Also, we have updated the Problem Statement.

“Tree is always rooted at (Node-1)” . How does it meant root is 1?? Can you please explain.
