HackerEarth Game of sequence problem solution

In this HackerEarth Game of sequence problem solution, Two players P and Q are playing a game of sequence on an array A of size n. In each move a player will choose two distinct numbers X and Y, both numbers should be present in the array. Now the player will pick all the positions where the number X is present and will replace the value there with the number Y.
The game stops if the array has only one distinct value. The player who is unable to make a move in his turn loses. You have to decide who will lose the game. The first move is played by player P.
