Problem approach

Step 1 : Find inorder and preorder traversals of first tree, and store them in two auxiliary arrays inF[] and preF[]
Step 2 : Find inorder and preorder traversals of second tree, and store them in two auxiliary arrays inS[] and preS[]
Step 3 : If inS[] is a subarray of inF[] and preS[] is a subarray preF[], then second tree is a subtree of First tree. Else not
