Got the solution. We can check for all the nodes whether there is cycle with that node. Consider the edges to be reversed, the problem turns out to be finding the root node for a node. Now, we need to calculate the start_time and end_time for all the nodes and we need to store the start_time, end_time, root_node for different components within a array. Now, given a node, we know the start_time, end_time for the node. We can do a binary search over that array to figure out the best fitting component(by taking max_value for a node for which start_time<=start_time for the given node) , which in turn gives us the root_node.
