HackerEarth K Friends problem solution

In this HackerEarth K Friends problem solution Monk has N friends. They are invited to his birthday party. Each friend has a satisfying factor which is equal to the number of gifts which they are expecting. Monk wants to satisfy at-least K friends but he is unaware of their satisfying factors. So Monk starts distribution of gifts. As soon as a friend is satisfied he won’t take more gifts.

Monk will follow a distribution strategy so as to minimize the number of gifts needed to satisfy atleast K of his friends. Find the minimum number of gifts which Monk should carry with himself in the worst case.
