1. Equilibrium Index

Easy
0/40
Asked in companies
GoogleAmazonWalmart

You are given an array Arr consisting of N integers. You need to find the equilibrium index of the array.

An index is considered as an equilibrium index if the sum of elements of the array to the left of that index is equal to the sum of elements to the right of it.

Note:

1. The array follows 0-based indexing, so you need to return the 0-based index of the element.
2. Note that the element at the equilibrium index won’t be considered for either left sum or right sum.
3. If there are multiple indices which satisfy the given condition, then return the left-most index i.e if there are indices i,j,k…. which are equilibrium indices, return the minimum among them
4. If no such index is present in the array, return -1.

Each road connects two of the 'N' cities, and no two cities have multiple roads between them. Mr. X wants to visit all the 'M' roads and 'N' cities of Ninja land. To do so, he can arbitrarily select any city as the starting city, travel through all the roads, and should end his journey in the same city which he selected as the starting city.

Given the description of each of the 'M' roads i.e, the two 2 cities that the road connects, and the time it takes to travel between the two cities. Your task is to find the minimum time that Mr. X will take to visit all the roads satisfying the above conditions.

If there is no possible way to travel all the roads, then return -1.
