  • Easy question with 50 Mark & Hard question with 100 mark
  • One of the questions was Beautiful Numbers and I don’t remember the other question. https://www.hackerearth.com/problem/algorithm/beautiful-numbers-05de0f51-101121ca/
  • I cleared 4 test cases (TC) out of 9 for hard question & 4 TC out of 26 in easy question
