So, I have a habit of submitting my every answer twice just to be sure it’s wrong or not and trust me its worth it(you can also see in my profile ).
I will be sharing the link to 2 of my own solution for the first question in September long challenge and you can compare it line by line they are the same but 1 is AC and the other is WA.
Solution1:-CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone (got 100 for this)
Solution2:-CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone (got 20 for this )
If anyone can explain why this happened please feel free to.

it’s not WA, it’s TLE, you are too close to the time limit and small difference of running time may occur

since codechef uses cloud to test codes, there is around chance of 10-15% variation in runtime.So, is the case with your code, it was tle.
