Alex has a computer with ‘K’ memory spaces. He has a list of ‘N’ different document downloads that he would like to do, each of which consumes some unique memory usage. He also has ‘M’ computer games, each of which consumes some unique memory usage. His computer can allow at most one download and at most one game to run simultaneously, provided that the sum of memory usages doesn’t exceed ‘K’. Alex wants to play at most one game and complete at most one download so that the total memory usage is maximum.
