Question
Candy DistributionChef has 𝑁N candies. He has to distribute them to exactly 𝑀M of his friends such that each friend gets equal number of candies and each friend gets even number of candies. Determine whether it is possible to do so.NOTE: Chef will not take any candies himself and will distribute all the candies.Input FormatFirst line will contain 𝑇T, number of test cases.

Solution
To solve this problem, we need to check if the number of candies can be evenly distributed among the friends and if each friend gets an even number of candies.
Here are the steps to solve this problem:
-
First, we need to check if the total number of candies (N) is divisible by the number of friends (M). This can be done using the modulus operator (%). If N % M equals 0, it means that the candies can be evenly distributed among the friends.
-
Next, we need to check if each friend gets an even number of candies. This can be done by dividing the total number of candies by the number of friends (N/M) and checking if the result is an even number. An even number is any number that is divisible by 2. So, if (N/M) % 2 equals 0, it means that each friend gets an even number of candies.
-
If both conditions are met, we print "Yes". Otherwise, we print "No".
Here is a Python code snippet that implements the above steps:
T = int(input())
for _ in range(T):
N, M = map(int, input().split())
if N % M == 0 and (N/M) % 2 == 0:
print("Yes")
else:
print("No")
This code first reads the number of test cases. Then for each test case, it reads the number of candies and friends, and checks if the candies can be evenly distributed and if each friend gets an even number of candies. If both conditions are met, it prints "Yes". Otherwise, it prints "No".

Alice and Bob are very good friends and they always distribute all the eatables equally among themselves.Alice has 𝐴A chocolates and Bob has 𝐵B chocolates. Determine whether Alice and Bob can distribute all the chocolates equally among themselves.Note that:It is not allowed to break a chocolate into more than one piece.No chocolate shall be left in the distribution.Input FormatThe first line of input will contain an integer 𝑇T — the number of test cases. The description of 𝑇T test cases follows.The first and only line of each test case contains two space-separated integers 𝐴A and 𝐵B, the number of chocolates that Alice and Bob have, respectively.Output FormatFor each test case, output on a new line YESYES if Alice and Bob can distribute all the chocolates equally, else output NONO. The output is case insensitive, i.e, yesyes, YeSYeS, yESyES will all be accepted as correct answers when Alice and Bob can distribute the chocolates equally.Constraints1≤𝑇≤10001≤T≤10001≤𝐴,𝐵≤1051≤A,B≤10 5 Sample 1:InputOutput41 11 31 21 4YESYESNONOExplanation:Test case 11: Both Alice and Bob already have equal number of chocolates, hence it is possible to distribute the chocolates equally among Alice and Bob.Test case 22: If Bob gives one of his chocolates to Alice, then both of them will have equal number of chocolates, i.e. 22. So, it is possible to distribute the chocolates equally among Alice and Bob.Test case 33: There are total 33 chocolates. These chocolates cannot be divided equally among Alice and Bob.Test case 44: Alice and Bob cannot have equal number of chocolates, no matter how they distribute the chocolates.
