regarding question https://www.codechef.com/BLUP2019/problems/GRAPHCOL

my solution approach is to find the no of sccs and check if k<(no of sccs) then answer is -1

else ans=ncr(k,no of sccs )*factorial[no of sccs]

can anybody check what is wrong in my approach https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/22917799

@raman3217, your code is giving wrong no of scc’s. For e.g

1
3 6 7
1 2
2 3
3 1
2 4
4 5
5 6
6 4

no of scc are 2, whereas your code gives 6.
