I was attempting the E problem of round #878 Div 3. I am getting TLE in my code but it seems to me that the Time complexity of the code if _O(T * (t + q))_ which should get accepted. Please tell me the mistake in the code. ↵
↵
**Approach**: I am storing the position which are unblocked at time (relative to current time) in a queue. The string a and b are just a copy of s1 and s2 which will be blocked and unblocked throughout the process (s1 and s2 are not altered). ↵
