Checked all previous links in the forum for this question… but unable to debug…
I’m doing dfs to find min tax val node in each component(val>=0) and then using it to construct optimum edges.

You need to find the vertex which has lowest cost of all vertexes. It will be in some component so we should connect all other components to that component to achieve minimum cost. Keep the sum total of all min tax val node of each component.
Total cost= minVal*(K-1) + (sum- minVal)

Thanks for help I missed this part… “We should connect all other components to that component to achieve minimum cost!”
