@divya : i guess... it wont work.
consider Array {1,2,3,4,123456}
and you want sum 6.

@prashant: Is it O(n)?

I guess after converting to array and removing all entries > sum, we should
start with the smallest element
and scan the elements from last till we get some value x which together with
the smallest value sums to < sum. Call this position POS1.
If we get required sum somewhere in the process, cool !
Else take drop the elements after POS1 and also the smallest element.
Recurse on the remaining.
