HackerEarth Mojtabas Trees and Arpas Queries March HourStorm solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202414 February 2026
In this HackerEarth Mojtabas Trees and Arpas Queries March HourStorm problem solution Mojtaba has two trees, each of them has n vertices. Arpa has q queries, each in type v, u, x, y. Let s be the set of vertices in the path from v to u in the first tree and p be the set of vertices in the path from x to y in the second tree. Mojtaba has to calculate the size of s intersects p for each query. Help him!
