CodeChefRating 1368Open on judge ↗

Chef is given two integers $N, S$. Consider an array $A$ of size $N$ such that $A[i]=i$ for every $1 \leq i \leq N$. You are required to find any position $x(1\leq x \leq N)$ such that : $(A[1]+A[2]+...A[x-1]) + (A[x+1]+A[x+2]+...A[N]) = S$ If there are multiple such positions $x$, print any such position. If there is no such position, print $-1$. ### Input - First line will contain $T$, numb
