A group of n tourists must cross a wide and deep river with no bridge in sight. They notice two 13-year-old boys playing in a rowboat by the shore. The boat is so tiny, however, that it can only hold two boys or one tourist. How can the tourists get across the river and leave the boys in joint possession of the boat? How many times need the boat pass from shore to shore?
In a company, there are several branches. Let us consider a branch of that company having N
employees, if the manager is allotted to that branch(s) then he is known to everyone else in that
branch. Note that the property of "known to everyone" is unique to a manager. Your task is to find
the manager in that branch. Input from the user in main ( ), the square matrix M where if an element
of row i and column j is set to 1 it means that ith person knows jth person. You need to write a
function managerId ( ) which returns the id of the manager if present or else returns -1. The function
managerId ( ) takes two arguments - the square matrix of N *N and its size N. Call managerId ( )
from the main ( ) output the information about the manager. Assume all diagonal elements to be 1
(as everyone knows him/herself) and there is at most one manager in the company.

Each dam is pre-planned to be built at a certain height so that the flood water cannot completely inundate the city Flood water will enter through the 1, area. The height of the dam in the area is B, meter. If the water level in area i is greater than B meter then the remaining water will flow in (i+1), area.
