Given two integers n        and x        , where x <= n        . Find the maximum number of one’s in a n * n        binary matrix can have such that every sub-matrix of size x * x        has atleast one cell as zero.

Examples: 

Input:5 3
Output: Maximum number of ones = 24
The matrix will be:
1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 
1 1 0 1 1 
1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 

Input:5 2
Output: Maximum number of ones = 21
The matrix will be:
1 1 1 1 1
1 0 1 0 1 
1 1 1 1 1 
1 0 1 0 1
1 1 1 1 1 

Approach The problem can be solved using a greedy approach. Place a zero at the right-bottom corner of the first square sub-matrix, i.e. the sub-matrix with coordinates (1, 1) and (x, x), and create the rest of the matrix symmetrically, we can get the minimum number of zeros, or, the maximum number of ones. Thus by observing, a common conclusion can be drawn that there are \left \lfloor (\frac{n}{x})^2 \right \rfloor        number of zeroes, in the minimum arrangement. The total number of cells available is n^2        in a NxN matrix. 

max(ones) = n^2 - \left \lfloor (\frac{n}{x})^2 \right \rfloor        .

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to get Maximum Number of
// ones in a matrix with given constraints
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
 
using namespace std;
 
// Function that returns the maximum
// number  of ones
int getMaxOnes(int n, int x)
{
    // Minimum number of zeroes
    int zeroes = (n / x);
    zeroes = zeroes * zeroes;
 
    // Total cells = square of the size of the matrices
    int total = n * n;
 
    // Initialising the answer
    int ans =  total - zeroes;
 
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    // Initialising the variables
    int n = 5;
    int x = 2;
 
     
    cout << getMaxOnes(n, x);
 
    return 0;
}

                    

Java

// Java program to get Maximum
// Number of ones in a matrix
// with given constraints
import java.io.*;
 
class GFG
{
     
// Function that returns
// the maximum number of ones
static int getMaxOnes(int n,
                      int x)
{
    // Minimum number of zeroes
    int zeroes = (n / x);
    zeroes = zeroes * zeroes;
 
    // Total cells = square of
    // the size of the matrices
    int total = n * n;
 
    // Initialising the answer
    int ans = total - zeroes;
 
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main (String[] args)
{
 
// Initialising the variables
int n = 5;
int x = 2;
System.out.println(getMaxOnes(n, x));
}
}
