Given N pairs of integers and an integer K, the task is to find the minimum number of reductions required such that the sum of the first elements of each pair is ? K.Each reduction involves reducing the first value of a pair to its second value. If it is not possible to make the sum ? K, print -1.

Examples: 
Input: N = 5, K = 32 
10 6 
6 4 
8 5 
9 8 
5 2 
Output:
Explanation: 
Total Sum = 10 + 6 + 8 + 9 + 5 = 38 > K 
Reducing 10 – > 6 and 8 – > 5 reduces the sum to 31( 6 + 6 + 5 + 9 + 5) which is less than K.

Input: N = 4, K = 25 
10 5 
20 9 
12 10 
4 2 
Output: -1 

Approach: 
Follow the steps below to solve the problem: 

  1. Calculate the sum of the first element of every pair. If the sum is already ? K, print 0.
  2. Sort the given pairs based on their difference.
  3. Count the number of differences of pairs that need to be added in non-increasing order to get the sum to be less than K.
  4. If the sum exceeds K after traversal of all pairs, print -1. Otherwise, print the count.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ Program to find the count of
// minimum reductions required to
// get the required sum K
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the count
// of minimum reductions
int countReductions(
    vector<pair<int, int> >& v,
    int K)
{
 
    int sum = 0;
    for (auto i : v) {
        sum += i.first;
    }
 
    // If the sum is already
    // less than K
    if (sum <= K) {
        return 0;
    }
 
    // Sort in non-increasing
    // order of difference
    sort(v.begin(), v.end(),
         [&](
             pair<int, int> a,
             pair<int, int> b) {
             return (a.first - a.second)
                    > (b.first - b.second);
         });
 
    int i = 0;
    while (sum > K && i < v.size()) {
        sum -= (v[i].first
                - v[i].second);
        i++;
    }
 
    if (sum <= K)
        return i;
 
    return -1;
}

int main()
{
    int N = 4, K = 25;
 
    vector<pair<int, int> > v(N);
    v[0] = { 10, 5 };
    v[1] = { 20, 9 };
    v[2] = { 12, 10 };
    v[3] = { 4, 2 };
 
    // Function Call
    cout << countReductions(v, K)
         << endl;
    return 0;
