Get Minimum Cost 🍒
🔥 FULLTIME

In Amazon Go Store, there are nitems, each associated with two positive values a[i] and b[i]. There are infinitely many items of each type numbered from 1 to infinity and the item numbered j of type i costs a[i] + (j - 1) * b[i] units.

Determine the minimum possible cost to purchase exactly m items.

Function Description

Complete the function getMinimumCost in the editor.

getMinimumCost has the following parameters:

  1. 1. int a[n]: an array of integers
  2. 2. int b[n]: an array of integers
  3. 3. m: the number of items to purchase

Returns

long integer: the minimum cost

Example 1: 

Input:  a = [2, 1, 1], b = [1, 2, 3], m = 4
Output: 7 
Explanation:


The optimal types to buy are-    

1. Choose i = 1. This is the first purchase of this type of item, so j = 1. The first item costs a[1] + (1 - 1) * b[i] = 1 + (1 - 1) * 2 = 1.

2. Choose i = 2. Again, it is the first purchase of this type so j = 1. The second item costs 1 + (1 - 1) * 3 = 1.

3. Choose i = 0 which costs 2 + (1 - 1) * 1 = 2.

4. When a second unit of any type is purchased, j = 2 for that transaction. The costs of a second units of each item are:
   a. a[0] costs a[0] + (2 - 1) * b[0] = 2 + 1*1 = 3
   b. a[1] costs 1 + 1*2 = 3
   c. a[2] costs 1 + 1*3 = 4
   d. Choose either a[0] or a[1] since they cost less.

The total cost to purchase is 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 7.
Constraints:
  • 1 <= n <= 105
  • 1 <= a[i], b[i] <= 105
  • 1 <= m <= 105
