I don't even understand properly your code, like there are many macros and that stuff but I'm pretty sure that there is no knapsack in there, and that was the intended way to solve it.

Your function for finding min no of opeartion to covert ('1' to 'm') is wrong . For m = 31 , you are getting minimum no of steps/operations as '7' but the minimum no of steps for m = '31' is '6' .

Edit :- Here is how you get 31 — [ 1 --> 2 --> 4 --> 8 --> 16 --> 21 --> 31 ] ( in 6 steps )

      You can use bfs to calculate minimum number of steps to reach B[i] from 1 or use an array to precalculate. I used an array.

      Click

      You can precalculate this before test cases. Here is my submission
