HackerEarth Largest Square problem solution

In this HackerEarth Largest Square problem solution, You are given N points on the infinite 2 - D plane. You need to find 4 such points among these N points, such that, they form a square with positive side length and whose sides are parallel to the x and y-axis.

If there are multiple choices of 4 such points, choose those which form the square of the largest side. If there are still multiple choices of 4 such points, choose those 4 points in which the bottom left point has a lower y co-ordinate. If there are still multiple choices of 4 such points, choose those 4 points in which the bottom left point has a lower x coordinate.
