Problem Overview

📚 Maximum Average Pass Ratio (LeetCode Problem 1792)

A school has multiple classes of students, and each class will have a final exam. Your task is to distribute a given number of extra brilliant students across these classes to maximize the average pass ratio. Here's how it works:


Problem Description

You are given:

1. classes:

A 2D array where each entry is of the form classes[i] = [passi, totali]:

  • passi: The number of students in the class who are guaranteed to pass.
  • totali: The total number of students in the class.

2. extraStudents:

An integer representing the number of extra students you can assign to any class. These students are guaranteed to pass in the class they're assigned to.


Definitions:

  • Pass Ratio of a Class:
    The ratio of passing students to total students:
Pass Ratio=passitotali\text{Pass Ratio} = \frac{\text{passi}}{\text{totali}}
  • Average Pass Ratio Across All Classes:
    The sum of pass ratios of all classes divided by the total number of classes.
Average Pass Ratio=(passitotali)n\text{Average Pass Ratio} = \frac{\sum \left( \frac{\text{passi}}{\text{totali}} \right)}{n}
  • where 𝑛 is the total number of classes.

Goal: Distribute the extraStudents in a way that maximizes the average pass ratio across all classes.


🧪 Test Cases:

Example 1:

Input: classes = [[1, 2], [3, 5], [2, 2]];              extraStudents = 2;

Output: 0.78333;

Example 2:

Input:
classes = [[2, 4], [3, 9], [4, 5], [2, 10]]
extraStudents = 4

Output:
0.53485

🧠 Logic Puzzle
Think & Arrange, Don't Just Copy-Paste

Drag and arrange the algorithm steps in the correct execution order instead of spending time typing code letter by letter.

Arrange the Algorithm Correctly 🧩

The algorithm is divided into three logical parts. Carefully rearrange each section in the correct order to form a complete and valid solution.

Understand Below Algorithm

Don't Know Current Algorithm ?  

Green text means the instruction is placed in the correct position.

Red text means the instruction is in the wrong position.

Block Colors

Instructions with the same background color indicate particular blocks start and end.

A tick mark means the instruction is correct and locked.

🔒 Locked steps cannot be moved. Only unlocked steps are draggable.

🔊 Enable sound for swap feedback and completion effects.
