#Here is code to minimum cost of choosing the array element and the other steps required.
 def minimumCost ( arr , N , M ) :
	arr . sort ( )
	pref = [ ]
	pref . append ( arr [ 0 ] )
	for i in range ( 1 , N ) :
		pref . append ( arr [ i ] + pref [ i - 1 ] )
	for i in range ( M , N ) :
		pref [ i ] += pref [ i - M ]
	for i in range ( N ) :
		print ( pref [ i ] , end = ' ▁ ' )
arr = [ 6 , 19 , 3 , 4 , 4 , 2 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]
M = 2
N = len ( arr )
minimumCost ( arr , N , M ) ;
