HackerEarth Reduction Game problem solution

In this HackerEarth Reduction Game problem solution You are given an array A consisting of N distinct integers. If the size of the array is greater than one, then you can perform the following operations any number of times:

Select two integers Ai and Aj such that CountOnes(Ai XOR Aj) = 1 and delete either Ai or Aj from the array. This operation costs C1.

Select two integers Ai and Aj such that CountOnes(Ai XOR Aj) > 1 and delete either Ai or Aj from the array. This operation costs C2.

Here, CountOnes(X) returns the number of 1s available in the binary representation of integer X. Determine the minimum cost to reduce the size of the array to 1.
