HackerEarth Velma and Queries problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Velma and Queries problem solution The “Mystery Incorporated” once went for an investigation. Since Scooby and Shaggy always create havoc during investigation, Velma decided to give them a question so as to keep them busy.
Velma gave them a tree consisting of N nodes, rooted at node 1 with a number in each node, and asked them several queries. Each query was of the form u l and they had to find the sum of values of all nodes situated at a depth l and were in the subtree of u.
Since Scooby and Shaggy are dumb, they need your help in solving this problem.
