Problem Understanding

We have n product types. Product i has k_i portions and disappears after day t_i. The expedition has c people, so every day exactly c portions can be eaten. Portions of different products can be mixed in the same day, which means a product is not a single indivisible item: we only need enough total eating capacity before its deadline.

The task is to choose as many product types as possible so that every portion of every chosen type can be eaten before the corresponding deadline. The output is the size of this maximum set and the indices of the chosen products.

The constraints force a greedy solution. There can be 2 * 10^5 products, so checking every subset is impossible because even 2^n subsets is far beyond reach. Even algorithms around O(n^2) are too slow for this size. We need something close to O(n log n), which usually means sorting plus a data structure.

The large values of c, t_i, and k_i also matter. The amount of food can reach 10^27, so the implementation must use integer arithmetic without overflow. Python integers handle this naturally.

A common mistake is to only check the total amount of food. For example:

2 3
1 10
100 1000

The total capacity over the whole expedition is huge, but the first product alone requires 10 portions in the first day while only 3 portions can be eaten. The correct output is:

1
2

Another mistake is to ignore the exact deadlines. Consider:

The first two products together require 4 portions by day 2, while the available capacity is only 4, so they are both possible. The third product cannot fit with them because the capacity before day 10 is limited by all earlier deadlines as well. The algorithm must continuously verify every deadline prefix.

A third edge case is when removing a product is necessary even though the current product itself could fit. For example:

The last product is large, but keeping it would force one of the smaller products out. The optimal answer keeps two product types, not necessarily the newest ones.

Approaches

A brute force solution can try every subset of products. For each subset, sort its products by deadline and verify whether the amount of food with deadline at most each day fits into c * day portions of capacity. This check is correct because the only possible bottleneck is a deadline prefix. However, there are 2^n subsets, and even for n = 50 this is already impossible. With n = 200000, this approach is not remotely close.

The useful observation comes from looking at the structure of the feasibility condition. After sorting products by their expiration day, when we process products from early deadlines to late deadlines, the only thing that matters is the total amount selected so far. If adding a new product makes the current deadline impossible, we should discard one selected product. To keep the maximum number of product types, the discarded product should be the one with the largest number of portions.

This is the same exchange argument behind scheduling the maximum number of jobs with deadlines. A large product consumes more capacity while giving the same reward as a small product, because both count as exactly one product type. Replacing a large chosen product with a smaller rejected one can only improve feasibility while preserving the number of chosen types.

A max heap stores the currently selected products by their portion counts. After sorting by deadline, we add every product, and if the current prefix exceeds its capacity, we remove the largest product from the heap. The remaining heap contains an optimal set.

Approach	Time Complexity	Space Complexity	Verdict
Brute Force	O(2^n * n)	O(n)	Too slow
Optimal	O(n log n)	O(n)	Accepted

Algorithm Walkthrough

Sort all products by increasing expiration day. Products with smaller deadlines must be considered first because they create stricter capacity limits.
Keep a running total of portions in the currently selected set and insert each processed product into a max heap. The heap allows us to find the most expensive product in terms of consumed capacity.
After inserting a product with deadline t, compare the total number of selected portions with c * t. If the total is too large, remove the product with the maximum number of portions from the heap and subtract its size from the total.
After all products are processed, the heap contains the indices of the product types that form the answer.

Why it works: after processing every deadline, the heap always represents the largest possible number of products among all feasible choices considered so far. If a deadline is violated, any feasible solution must remove at least one product from the current set. Removing the largest product is the best possible choice because it frees the most capacity while losing only one product from the answer count. Repeating this after every violation keeps the maximum number of selected types.

Python Solution

import sys
import heapq

input = sys.stdin.readline

def solve():
    n, c = map(int, input().split())
    products = []

    for i in range(1, n + 1):
        t, k = map(int, input().split())
        products.append((t, k, i))

    products.sort()

    heap = []
    total = 0

    for t, k, idx in products:
        heapq.heappush(heap, (-k, idx))
        total += k

        if total > c * t:
            removed_k, removed_idx = heapq.heappop(heap)
            total += removed_k

    answer = [idx for _, idx in heap]

    print(len(answer))
    if answer:
        print(*answer)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    solve()

The products are sorted so that every violation is checked at the earliest deadline where it can happen. The heap stores negative portion counts because Python's heapq is a min heap, and negating values turns it into a max heap.

The variable total contains the amount of food in the current chosen set. When a product is removed, its stored heap value is negative, so adding it back subtracts its portions. Python integers are unbounded, so values like c * t and sums of k_i do not overflow.

The final heap contains only products that survived every capacity check. Their order is irrelevant because the problem accepts any valid ordering of indices.

Worked Examples

For the first sample:

1 1
4 4

The trace is:

Step	Product	Deadline	Heap contents	Total	Action
1	1	4	{1:4}	4	Keep

The product requires 4 portions and four portions can be eaten in four days, so it remains selected.

For the second sample:

After sorting by deadline, the order is products 2, 1, 4, 3, 5.

Step	Product added	Deadline	Total before removal	Removed	Heap size
1	2	2	6	None	1
2	1	3	10	None	2
3	4	3	14	None	3
4	3	4	19	None	4
5	5	5	26	Product 2	4

At the last step, the total capacity is 3 * 5 = 15, so the largest product is removed. Product 2 had 6 portions, while smaller products could remain together. The final set contains three product types, matching the maximum.

Complexity Analysis

Measure	Complexity	Explanation
Time	O(n log n)	Sorting takes O(n log n), and every heap operation is O(log n)
Space	O(n)	The heap and product list store at most all products

The solution handles 200000 products because it only performs sorting and logarithmic heap operations. The arithmetic values are large, but Python integer support keeps the calculations safe.

    solve()

    result = sys.stdout.getvalue()
    sys.stdin = old_stdin
    sys.stdout = old_stdout
    return result

Test input	Expected output	What it validates

Edge Cases

The first edge case is a product that has enough total expedition time but not enough time before its own deadline. The input

2 3
1 10
100 1000

is processed by considering the first product. The heap contains 10 portions, but the capacity at day 1 is only 3, so the product is removed. The second product remains because it can be eaten over many days. The algorithm outputs one product.

The second edge case is when early deadlines are the real limitation. In

the first two products fit exactly into the first two days. When the third product is added, the deadline condition is checked at day 10, and the largest product is removed. The answer keeps the two smaller products because they maximize the number of types.

The third edge case is when a large product should be removed even though it was processed late. For

the heap grows until the total exceeds the day 2 capacity. The largest product has 20 portions, so removing it leaves the two products of size 5. This gives the maximum possible count of product types.
