Once upon a time in the small town of Pairland, there was an annual lottery event that captivated the residents. The lottery involved N magical coins, each represented by two values (Ai, Bi), one on each side. The townsfolk eagerly awaited the grand lottery day, and the excitement was palpable. However, a mysterious condition was imposed on the lottery this year. Each participant had to swap the sides of some coin pairs, following a special operation: for the ith pair, Ai would become Bi , and Bi would become Ai. To add a twist to the event, the townspeople were given an intriguing challenge. They had to figure out if it was possible to perform these swaps in such a way that the sum of all the values on one side of the coins equaled a magical number, M. Your task is to create a question for participants in the magical lottery of Pairland. They must decide if it's possible to swap coin values in such a way that the sum of one side equals a magical number, M. If possible, print "YES"; otherwise, print "NO."Input FormatThe first line contains an integer T denoting the number of test cases. Description of each test case is as follows: The first line of each test case contains two space-seperated integers N and M denoting Number of Coins and the Magical Number respectively.
