Mining


Problem Statement :


There are n gold mines along a river, and each mine i produces wi tons of gold. In order to collect the mined gold, we want to redistribute and consolidate it amongst exactly k mines where it can be picked up by trucks. We do this according to the following rules:

You can move gold between any pair of mines (i.e., i and j, where 1 <= i <j <= n).
All the gold at some pickup mine i must either stay at mine i or be completely moved to some other mine, j.
Move w tons of gold between the mine at location xi and the mine at location xj at a cost of |xi-xj|*w.
Given n, k, and the amount of gold produced at each mine, find and print the minimum cost of consolidating the gold into k pickup locations according to the above conditions.

Input Format

The first line contains two space-separated integers describing the respective values of n (the number of mines) and k (the number of pickup locations).
Each line i of the n subsequent lines contains two space-separated integers describing the respective values of xi (the mine's distance from the mouth of the river) and wi (the amount of gold produced in tons) for mine i.

Note: It is guaranteed that the mines are will be given in order of ascending location.

Constraints
1 <= k < n <= 5000
1 <= wi,xi <= 10^6

Output Format

Print a single line with the minimum cost of consolidating the mined gold amongst k different pickup sites according to the rules stated above.
