HackerEarth Delete and Cut Game problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Delete and Cut Game problem solution, You are given a connected graph with N nodes and M edges. Two players A and B are playing a game with this graph. A person X chooses an edge uniformly, randomly, and removes it. If the size (number of nodes in component) of two non-empty connected component created are EVEN, then A wins otherwise player B wins.
Find the probability of winning the game for A and B. The probability is of the P/Q form where P and Q are both coprimes. Print PQ-1 module 1000000007.
Note: X can only select the edges which divide the graph into two non-empty connected components after they are removed. If no such edge is present in the graph, then the probability to win can be 0 for both A and B.
