Thank you all for your views. I was hesitating for the same reason. Now I'm
clear that I shouldn't go for a blog that gives straightforward solution
for the challenges.
Thanks,

Legality is the lowest of bars. We should aim higher.
I'm pretty sure that the listed sites should strongly prefer *not* to have
solutions available like this.
The more I think about this, the more I'm tending to say: don't do this.
It may feel like charity, but the authors of the problem sets
I'm not a fan of the idea of publishing solutions of coding challenge
problems because it often violates the honor codes of institutions. Even if
some sites are okay with this, the majority probably are not.
Rather than muddy the water, might be best to skirt the issue.
What is the problem you're

The only legal concern is if you're copying challenges directly from the
sites; someone has some sort of ownership and copyright on the code and
description.
Don't copy / paste anything and you'll be fine. If you do, check the
license first (it may be open source).
