HackerEarth Pebbles Game problem solution

In this HackerEarth Pebbles Game problem solution, we have given 2 * N pebbles of N different colors, where there exists exactly 2 pebbles of each color, you need to arrange these pebbles in some order on a table. You may consider the table as an infinite 2D plane.

The pebbles need to be placed under some restrictions :

You can place a pebble of color X, at a coordinate (X,Y) such that Y is not equal to X, and there exist 2 pebbles of color Y.

In short consider you place a pebble of color i at co-ordinate (X,Y). Here, it is necessary that (i = X),(i != Y) there exist some other pebbles of color equal to Y.

Now, you need to enclose this arrangement within a boundary , made by a ribbon. Considering that each unit of the ribbon costs M, you need to find the minimum cost in order to make a boundary which encloses any possible arrangement of the pebbles. The ribbon is sold only in units (not in further fractions).
