I am dire straits regarding performance issue...But my project constraints are such that I must solve this problem only through c language. Pleas suggest a C code for the problem stated. Its urgent.

This would be _significantly_ easier and faster if you used C++. Doing what you want is either going to be performance-unfriendly (as Nico's suggestion pointed out) OR is going to be very time-consuming coming up with an optimal solution.
