HackerEarth Uniqueness violation problem solution

In this HackerEarth Uniqueness violation problem solution you are given an integer N. You are provided with an array of exactly N integers denoted by Ai. Also, you are provided with the uniqueness value for each array element and is denoted as Ui. Your task is to pick the array elements in such a way that no two adjacent array elements picked have the same value of uniqueness and the sum of values picked is maximum.
