HackerEarth Supertables problem solution

In this HackerEarth Supertables problem solution, Little Timmy is exceptionally good at math tables, so his maths teacher decided to make things a bit more interesting. His teacher takes two numbers A and B and merges the tables of A and B in sorted order (ascending order), removing the duplicates and thus creates supertable of A and B and asks Little Timmy the Nth number in the supertable.

Given A, B and N, calculate the Nth number in the supertable of A and B.
