HackerEarth Little Shino and Pairs problem solution

In this HackerEarth Little Shino and Pairs problem solution we have given a permutation of numbers from 1 to N. Among all the subarrays, find the number of unique pairs (a,b) such that a != b and a is maximum and b is the second maximum in that subarray.
