In this HackerEarth Remove the element problem You are given an integer array A of size N. You can perform an operation exactly N number of times. In the operation, you can remove one element from array A and the operation will cost Ai units if ith is removed from the array. The operation will take 1 second.

Elements of array A will keep on increasing every second until it is removed. Let ith element is Ai at jth second. Then the ith element will increase by (j + 1) * Ai and the element will become Ai + (j + 1) * Ai at (j + 1)th second.

Your task is to find the minimum cost to remove all the elements from array A. As the answer can be very large, print the answer module 10^9 + 7.
