HackerEarth City and Fireman Vincent problem solution

In this HackerEarth City and Fireman Vincent problem solution Fatland is a town with N cities numbered 1, 2, …, N, connected with 2-way roads. Vincent is a villian who wants to set the entire town ablaze. For each city, there is a certain risk factor E[i] for setting that city ablaze. But once a city c is set ablaze, all cities that can be reached from c will be set ablaze immediately.

The overall risk factor of setting some number of cities ablaze is the sum of the risk factors of setting each of the cities ablaze. Vincent’s goal is to set the whole town ablaze with minimal risk by picking some set of cities to set ablaze. Let M be the minimum risk he takes when setting the entire city ablaze. Calculate the number of ways to pick a set of cities to obtain a risk of M.
