Kevin and his Fruits Problem Statement

Kevin has 'N' buckets, each consisting of a certain number of fruits. Kevin wants to eat at least 'M' fruits. He is looking to set a marker as high as possible such that if he eats the number of fruits in the i-th bucket minus the marker, the total must be at least 'M'.

Input:

The input begins with a single integer 'T', the number of test cases.
Each test case consists of:
- Two space-separated integers 'N' (number of buckets) and 'M' (minimum fruits to eat).
- A second line with 'N' space-separated integers indicating the number of fruits in each bucket.

Output:

For each test case, print the marker value needed, with each output on a new line.

Example:

Input:
1
4 30
10 40 30 20
Output:
20

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 10
  • 1 <= N <= 104
  • 1 <= M <= 106
  • 0 <= ARR[i] <= 104

Note:

It is guaranteed that the total number of fruits in all buckets is greater than 'M'. Kevin can only eat fruits from a bucket if the bucket has more fruits than the marker.
