HackerEarth Capitals and cities problem solution

In this HackerEarth Capitals and cities problem solution Suppose we have n cities with integer coordinate on a line. First, we have to select a city to be the capital. Then in each operation, we have to choose a non-capital city and change it’s coordinate by 1 (-1 or +1). We have to pick the capital and do the operations exactly k time so that the sum of distances from cities to the capital is minimized. Print the index of the selected capital and the desired sum after exactly k operations. If there are multiple such choices, output the smallest index of an optimal capital.

You are required to print the index of the selected capital and required sum after k operations. If there are multiple such choices, print the smallest index of an optimal capital.
