Recycling Pens Problem Statement

Imagine you have a certain number of empty pens, and some money in your pocket. For each pen, you can choose to either recycle it for a reward or buy a refill to make it usable again. Your goal is to find the maximum number of usable pens you can achieve given the constraints.

Example:

Input:
N = 5, R = 10, K = 2, C = 3
Output:
4
Explanation:

Recycle one pen to get 2 rupees, resulting in 12 rupees. With this, buy 4 refills and combine with 4 pens to make them usable, achieving the maximum of 4 usable pens.

Constraints:

  • 1 ≤ T ≤ 10^5
  • 1 ≤ N ≤ 10^9
  • 0 ≤ R ≤ 10^9
  • 1 ≤ K ≤ 10^9
  • 1 ≤ C ≤ 10^9
  • Time limit: 1 sec

Input:

The first line contains integer 'T', the number of test cases. Each test case consists of four space-separated integers: 'N', 'R', 'K', and 'C'.

Output:

For each test case, output the maximum number of usable pens.
Note:
No need to print anything. Just implement the solution function and return the result.
