HackerEarth Mancunian And Colored Tree problem solution

In this HackerEarth Mancunian And Colored Tree problem solution After a hectic week at work, Mancunian and Liverbird decide to go on a fun weekend camping trip. As they were passing through a forest, they stumbled upon a unique tree of N nodes. Vertices are numbered from 1 to N.

Each node of the tree is assigned a color (out of C possible colors). Being bored, they decide to work together (for a change) and test their reasoning skills. The tree is rooted at vertex 1. For each node, they want to find its closest ancestor having the same color.
