You are given an array/list ARR consisting of N integers. Your task is to find all the distinct triplets present in the array which adds up to a given number K.

An array is said to have a triplet {ARR[i], ARR[j], ARR[k]} with sum = 'K' if there exists three indices i, j and k such that i!=j, j!=k and i!=j and ARR[i] + ARR[j] + ARR[k] = 'K'.

Note:
1. You can return the list of values in any order. For example, if a valid triplet is {1, 2, -3}, then {2, -3, 1}, {-3, 2, 1} etc is also valid triplet. Also, the ordering of different triplets can be random i.e if there are more than one valid triplets, you can return them in any order.
2. The elements in the array need not be distinct.
3. If no such triplet is present in the array, then return an empty list, and the output printed for such a test case will be "-1".

Coding problem1

He asked me a puzzle and then he asked where I see myself 10 years down the line, and what my hobbies are. He mentioned again that he liked my project.

1. Puzzle Question

You are given 10 boxes with 10 balls in each, and each ball weighs 10 gms, but only one of these boxes contains balls that all weigh 9 gms. With only 1 use of a beam-balance, how do you find the odd box?

Problem approach

Mark 10 boxes 1 to 10.

Then pick 1 ball from box ko, 2 from box not, 3 from box not and so on…

Now the total ball are 55 balls. And weight should ne 550 gms if all balls are ok.

Now weigh them, if the defective ball is lesser weight 9gm each or the total will be lesser than 550. Whatever is less than 550 , that box no is defective…

Else if the ball is heavier 11gm each then the total will be heavier. So whatever is more than 550 , that will ne defective box no

Here's your problem of the day

Solving this problem will increase your chance to get selected in this company
