Product of all Subsequences of size K except the minimum and maximum Elements

Given an array A[] containing N elements and an integer K. The task is to calculate the product of all elements of subsequences of size K except the minimum and the maximum elements for each subsequence.
Note: Since the answer can be very large so print the final answer as mod of 10⁹ + 7.

Examples:

Input : arr[] = {1, 2, 3 4}, K = 3
Output : 36
Subsequences of length 3 are:
{1, 2, 3}, {1, 2, 4}, {1, 3, 4}, {2, 3, 4}
Excluding minimum and maximum elements from 
each of the above subsequences, product will be:
(2 * 2 * 3 * 3) = 36.

Input : arr[] = {10, 5, 16, 6}, k=3
Output : 3600

Naive Approach: A simple approach is to generate all possible subsequences one by one and multiply all elements except maximum and minimum and further multiplying all of them. Since there will be a total of ⁽ⁿ⁾C_(K) subsequences all having K – 2 elements to be multiplied which is tedious work to do.

Efficient Approach: The idea is to first sort the array since it doesn’t matter if we consider subsequences or subsets.
Now count the occurrence of each element one by one.
In total, a number can occur in ^(n-1)C_(K-1) subsequences out of which ⁽ⁱ⁾C_(K-1) times it will occur as maximum element and ^(n-i-1)C_(K-1) times it will occur as a minimum element of that subsequence.
Hence, in total $i^{th}$ element will occur:

^(n-1)C_^(K-1)  - ^(i)C_^(K-1) - ^(n-i-1)C_^(K-1) times. (let's say it x)

So, at first we’ll be calculating x for each element a[i] and then multiply a[i] x times. i.e ( $a[i]^x mod(10^9 + 7)$ ).
Since, It’s too difficult to calculate this for large arrays, so we’ll use Fermat’s Little Theorem.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

        }

                            + C[i - 1][j] % MOD) % MOD;
        }
    }
}

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
