HackerEarth Travelling Tom problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Travelling Tom problem solution Tom is visiting the country Hackerland. Hackerland has n cities and m bi-directional roads. There are k types of tokens. Token i costs . The costs of the tokens are such that for all 2 <= i <= k, ci >= 2ci-1. For each road, you need to have a particular set of tokens, if you want to travel it. Note that you don’t have to give the tokens, you just need to show them. Thus, one token can be used at any number of roads, where it is required. Tom wants to select a set of tokens, such that using them, he can go from any city to any other city. You have to help him minimize the total cost of tokens he buys.
