Given three integers N, X, and Y, the task is to check if it is possible to reduce N to 0 or less by the following operations: 

  • Update N to ?N/2? + 10, at most X times
  • Update N to N – 10, at most Y times.

Example:

Input: N = 100, X = 3, Y = 4
Output: Yes
Explanation:
Update N = 100 to ?100/2? + 10 = 60.
Update N = 60 to 60 ? 10 = 50.
Update N = 50 to ?50/2? + 10 = 35.
Update N = 35 to ?35/2? + 10 = 27.
Update N = 27 to 27 ? 10 = 17. 
Update N = 17 to 17 ? 10 = 7.
Update N = 7 to 7 ? 10 = ?3.

Input: N = 50, X = 1, Y = 2
Output: No

Approach: This problem can be solved based on the following observations:

  • Case 1: If ?N/2? + 10 >= N, then perform only second operation as the first operation will increase the value N.
  • Case 2: If first operation is performed followed by the second operation then the result is:

 
 

Operation 1: N = ?N/2? + 10 
Operation 2: (?N/2? + 10) – 10 = ?N/2?

 

  • The value of N is reduced to (?N/2?).
  • Case 3: If second operation is performed followed by the first operation then the result is:

 
 

Operation 2: N = N – 10 
Operation 1: ?(N – 10)/2? + 10 = (?N/2? – 5 + 10) = (?N/2? + 5)

 

  • The value of N is reduced to (?N/2? + 5).

From the above two observations, if N > N/2 +10, then it can be concluded that, to reduce the value of N to 0 or less, the first operation must be performed before the second operation to decrease the value of N.
Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  1. Update the value of N to ?N/2? + 10 if N > N/2 + 10 and X > 0.
  2. Update the value of N to N – 10 at most Y times.
  3. Check if the updated value of N is less than equal to 0 or not.
  4. If N ? 0, then print “Yes”. Otherwise, print “No”.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ Program to implement
// the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if N can be
// reduced to <= 0 or not
bool NegEqu(int N, int X, int Y)
{
 
    // Update N to N/2 + 10 at most X times
    while (X-- and N > N/2 + 10) {
        N = N / 2 + 10;
    }
 
    // Update N to N - 10 Y times
    while (Y--) {
        N = N - 10;
    }
 
    if (N <= 0)
        return true;
 
    return false;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 100;
    int X = 3;
    int Y = 4;
 
    if (NegEqu(N, X, Y)) {
        cout << "Yes";
    }
    else {
        cout << "No";
    }
}


Java




// Java program to implement
// the above approach
class GFG{
 
// Function to check if N can be
// reduced to <= 0 or not
static boolean NegEqu(int N, int X, int Y)
{
     
    // Update N to N/2 + 10 at most X times
    while (X > 0 && (N > N / 2 + 10))
    {
        N = N / 2 + 10;
        X -= 1;
    }
 
    // Update N to N - 10 Y times
    while (Y > 0)
    {
        N = N - 10;
        Y -= 1;
    }
 
    if (N <= 0)
        return true;
 
    return false;
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int N = 100;
    int X = 3;
    int Y = 4;
 
    if (NegEqu(N, X, Y))
    {
        System.out.println("Yes");
    }
    else
    {
        System.out.println("No");
    }
}
}
