HackerEarth Range queries problem solution

In this HackerEarth Range queries problem solution, You are given a permutation of N numbers that are denoted by array A.

You are also given Q queries of the form:

L R: For all the subsequences from the subarray A[L], A[L + 1], …, A[R] such that the length of subsequence is equal to the maximum element present in the subsequence, find the bitwise XOR of all the elements present in these subsequences.

Find the answer for Q queries.
