HackerEarth The score game problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth The score game problem solution You are given an array A of N elements where each element is a pair represented by (X[i], Y[i]). 
Bob and Alice play a game where both of them have to pick some elements from the array A. Suppose, Bob picked the elements at index i1,i2,…,ik where K <= N.
Score(Bob) = Sigma(X[j] + Y[j]), where j belongs to (i1,i2,….,ik).
Score(Alice) = Sigma(X[j]), where j belongs to (1,2,….,N) excluding (i1,i2,….,ik).
Find the minimum number of elements Bob must pick such that the score of Bob is greater than Alice.
