Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. Vasya concentrates on the properties of right triangles, and he utilizes a recipe that decides whether some triple of integers is Pythagorean. Lamentably, he has failed to remember the specific recipe; he recalls just that the recipe was some condition with squares. Along these lines, he concocted the accompanying equation: c=a2−b. Clearly, this isn't the right recipe to check if a triple of numbers is Pythagorean. Yet, amazingly, it really dealt with the triple (3,4,5): 5=32−4, thus, as indicated by Vasya's equation, it is a Pythagorean triple. When Vasya tracked down the right recipe (and comprehended that his equation is off-base), he pondered: what number of are there triples of integers (a,b,c) with 1≤a≤b≤c≤n to such an extent that they are Pythagorean both as per his equation and the genuine definition? He requested that you count these triples. Input The principal line contains one integer t…

If five integers are chosen from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}, must there be at least two integers with the property that the larger minus the smaller is 2? Write an answer that would convince a good but skeptical fellow student who has learned the statement of the pigeonhole principle but not seen an application like this one. Describe the pigeons, the pigeonholes, and how the pigeons get to the pigeonholes.

Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. You are given two integers n and k. You ought to make a variety of n positive integers a1,a2,… ,a to such an extent that the total (a1+a2+⋯+an) is distinguishable by k and greatest component in an is least conceivable. What is the base conceivable most extreme component in a? Input The primary line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤1000) — the number of experiments. The solitary line of each experiment contains two integers n and k (1≤n≤109; 1≤k≤109). Output For each experiment, print one integer — the base conceivable most extreme component in cluster a to such an extent that the aggregate (a1+⋯+an) is distinct by k.
