@Ashish: could u plz explain ur algo in detail. "walk over the merged list to get adjacent min distance and different tags" this would be of the order O(m*n) say we merge A1 A2 of size m and n respectively. Also, now how do u go ahead with the 3rd array? didn't get ur solution.
Harshal's solution looks fine. ny bugs?
