hi don please tell me where am i wrong in this maths in solving this
question.
let x = number of times to press up button
let y = number of times to press down button
k = g -s
so we have
u*x - d*y = k ----------->(1)
we have to minimize x + y
so from (1) x = (k+d*y)/u;
x + y = (k + d*y)/u + y
now if u analyze (k + dy ) should be integer
so (k + d* y) %u = 0
k%u + (d*y)%u = 0;
(dy)%u = u - (k%u)
dy = pu + (u - (k%u))
where p is any integer
y = pu/d +(u -(k%u))/d
so for y to be minimum
p = 0;
so y = (u - (k%u))/d;
if we know y we can get x and x + y
CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG
