When a team of engineers working on Harvard University’s Mark II computer found a bug gumming up the works, the
word “bug” became a standard part of the programmer’s lexicon – or, did it?
The bug is that “bug” in this sense goes back to the late nineteenth century, an expression for solving a difficulty, and

Question 1

This vacation you went to visit the golden house. There are N rooms in this golden house and its owner needs someone
to take care of the management of this house. As you have been unemployed for a long time, you are interested in this
job. Owner of this house wanted an intelligent manager for this role, so he created one puzzle within that golden
house. The person who will be able to solve that puzzle will be the manager of the golden house.

Owner of the house kept some numbers of golden coins in each room. You have to choose two rooms, one from where
you will enter and other one from where you will exit. From any room either you can exit, or you can move to the next
room. While visiting any room you will collect all the gold coins, and if you enter any room then you can’t skip collecting
gold coins from that room, you have to take those coins. Owner wants to have exactly K coins, when you exit the room,
he guarantees that there will be at least one possible solution for this puzzle.

Given number of rooms (N), and number of gold coins in N rooms. You have to find room numbers from where you will
start and from where you will exit. If there are more than one solution possible, then you have to provide a solution
with a smaller starting room number.
You can assume that room numbers will start from 1 and end at N.

Hint: Find a continuous subsequence whose sum will be exactly equal to K.

Example 1:

Input:
10 15 -> N =10, K = 15
5 3 7 14 18 1 18 4 8 3 -> Number of gold coins in each room.
Output:
13

Explanation: There are ten rooms in the house. You want to have the Total sum of gold coins in continuous sequence of
room to be 15 There are two solutions from this i.e. [1, 3] and [8, 10] then the so

Question 2

Bob is going to bet today on horse riding. There are N horses listed in a sequence of 1 to N.

The probability of winning of each horse is different so the prices for making a bet on the horses are not the same.
There is no limit on the number of horses on which he can bet, but he thinks that if he bets on a continuous sequence
of horses then he has a better chance to win. Bob will get K units of money if any horse on which he bets will win. But
as the award is only K units so he wants to put money less than K. Bob wants to bet on as many horses as he can. As
you are his best friend, he reached out to you for help, can you please find the length of the maximum continuous
sequence of horses on which Bob can make a bet, and remember he will invest money less than K units. If there are
more than one possible combinations, Bob will bet randomly on any one of them.

Given the number of horses(N), reward money(K), and price of betting on N horses in order.
Hint: For each starting index of a horse, its end index in sequences will be equal to or greater than the end index of the
previous starting index.

Example 1:

Input:
90 100 -> N = 10, K=100
30 40 50 20 20 10 90 10 10 10 -> Price to make bet on each horse in order
Output:
3
Explanation:
There are 10 horses, and the reward money is 100. So, Bob will put money less than 100. There are two possible o
sequences of length three whose total money for betting is less than 100, i.e. [50 20 20] (sum is 90) and [10 10 10] (sum
is 30). Bob will choose randomly one sequence from these two. As none of the other sequences with length greater
than 3 will have a price less than 100 so the answer will be 3.

Example 2:

Input:
10 100 -> N = 10, K=100
10 90 80 20 90 60 40 60 70 75 -> Price to make bet on each horse in order

Output:
1

Explanation:
There are no two consecutive horses for which the sum of price is less than 100. So, Bob will choose randomly any
one horse. And the max length of the sequence will be 1.

Constraints:

2<=N<=105
1<= K<=109
1<=A1, A3… AN<=109
