Given two arrays of N and M integers. The task is to find the number of unordered pairs formed of elements from both arrays in such a way that their sum is an odd number. 
Note: An element can only be one pair.
Examples: 
 

Input: a[] = {9, 14, 6, 2, 11}, b[] = {8, 4, 7, 20} 
Output:
{9, 20}, {14, 7} and {11, 8}
Input: a[] = {2, 4, 6}, b[] = {8, 10, 12} 
Output:
 

 

Approach: Count the number of odd and even numbers in both the arrays and the answer to the number of pairs will be min(odd1, even2) + min(odd2, even1), because odd + even is only odd. 
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function that returns the number of pairs
int count_pairs(int a[], int b[], int n, int m)
{
 
    // Count of odd and even numbers
    int odd1 = 0, even1 = 0;
    int odd2 = 0, even2 = 0;
 
    // Traverse in the first array
    // and count the number of odd
    // and even numbers in them
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        if (a[i] % 2)
            odd1++;
        else
            even1++;
    }
 
    // Traverse in the second array
    // and count the number of odd
    // and even numbers in them
    for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
        if (b[i] % 2)
            odd2++;
        else
            even2++;
    }
 
    // Count the number of pairs
    int pairs = min(odd1, even2) + min(odd2, even1);
 
    // Return the number of pairs
    return pairs;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a[] = { 9, 14, 6, 2, 11 };
    int b[] = { 8, 4, 7, 20 };
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
    int m = sizeof(b) / sizeof(b[0]);
    cout << count_pairs(a, b, n, m);
 
    return 0;
}

// Java program to implement
// the above approach
 
class GFG {
 
    // Function that returns the number of pairs
    static int count_pairs(int a[], int b[], int n, int m)
    {
 
        // Count of odd and even numbers
        int odd1 = 0, even1 = 0;
        int odd2 = 0, even2 = 0;
 
        // Traverse in the first array
        // and count the number of odd
        // and even numbers in them
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            if (a[i] % 2 == 1) {
                odd1++;
            }
            else {
                even1++;
            }
        }
 
        // Traverse in the second array
        // and count the number of odd
        // and even numbers in them
        for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
            if (b[i] % 2 == 1) {
                odd2++;
            }
            else {
                even2++;
            }
        }
 
        // Count the number of pairs
        int pairs = Math.min(odd1, even2) + Math.min(odd2, even1);
 
        // Return the number of pairs
        return pairs;
    }
 
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int a[] = { 9, 14, 6, 2, 11 };
        int b[] = { 8, 4, 7, 20 };
        int n = a.length;
        int m = b.length;
        System.out.println(count_pairs(a, b, n, m));
    }
