Another approach for B

If we are shifting to left it means we are moving in negative direction If we are shifting to right it means we are moving in positive direction

We can try all possible values of shifting by binary search, and compare if we want to shift in positive and negative direction and reduce the search space on each try

    Why is it obvious that the ith cake should be below the ith dispenser ??It maybe that a cake's last part is below start of some dispenser and another cake is below the same dispenser ?@AshutoshChoudhary
