In this HackerEarth Greedy chairman problem solution One day, Madi, chairman of “Wal’s smart”company, decided to hire new employees.
His secretary, Dina J. Tramp, gave him a list of employees. At first glance, he thought that all candidates have a different experience, skills, etc. However, they were the same! The only thing that was unique to any candidate, is salary!(however, 2 or more employees can have the same value). After that, Madi decided to test his company’s programmer’s skill.
At first, he numbered all candidates from 1 to n. After that, he wrote down all salaries(Candidate with the number i wants salary ai). Then, he told him q questions. Every question had format l, r, and k. The question was, in how many ways he can choose exactly k candidates between l and r and hire them, such that Madi will spend a minimum amount of money (since the answer if very big, output it modulo (10^9+7)). His mighty programmist, Calif tried to solve this problem. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful. And he asked for help from you.
