Help needed for an interesting oa problem!

Revision en2, by codehacker4689_p, 2023-09-30 08:13:43

There is an undirected tree T of size n, with edges of length 1. Initially, each of the nodes(1-indexed) stores a value equal to the node number. Shuffle these values among the nodes in such a way that no node stores a value equal to its node number.

There are two values to determine:

1.The minimum possible sum of the distances between the initial and final positions of all values.

2.The maximum possible sum of the distances between the initial and final positions of all values. Seen this in some recent oa and tried alot but not able to solve. Can anyone help please?
