@Dheeraj: This is a great solution. My first thought has complexity O(n^3) and uses O(1) extra space. For your algorithm, sorting an array of size n^2 would be O(n^2 log n), so your algorithm has complexity O(n^2 log n) and uses extra space of size O(n^2). We can see the tradeoff of space for complexity.
