You can do this by binary searching the answer which is checked valid by:
1.making a graph with cost sqrt(|x_j-x_i-L|) — R * b_j and always x_j > x_i.
2.In this graph,find shortest path from x0 to xn (take x0 as a dummy start).
3.Once you get the optimal value you backtrace the waiting pts you took.

EDIT:Congrats for becoming the Training and Placement Representative
What is R? and why is the cost taken as sqrt(|x_j-x_i-L|) — R * b_j
u can call it the present value in the binary search or mid.
