HackerEarth Painting The logo problem solution

In this HackerEarth Painting, The logo problem solution Rahul has set upon the quest for a new logo of his company. He has created the following continuous logo:

/ /

/ / /

/ /

However, his sister, Rashi, likes the following discontinuous design more

/ /

The size of a logo is the longest continuous streak of same characters on an arm.

So, size of 1st logo is 5 while that of 2nd one is 4.

We know that every ‘/’ or ” character requires exactly 1 unit of paint.

Now, Rahul has X units of paint and would like to draw each of the two favorite logos of himself and his sister, Rashi. So, as to consume it optimally, he wants to know the maximal possible sizes of the two logos that can be drawn such that the difference in sizes of both logos is atmost 1.

Note that it is necessary to be able to draw both the logos. In case, the paint is not enough, output 0 0 instead.
