    It is like an easier version of a Div. 1 + Div. 2 Codeforces round.

Just curious, is there no tester for TROC or are they hidden?

    It is possible solve it deterministically only using DSU.

    For the second part of the problem where we need to mark roads on a path from $$$A_i$$$ to $$$B_i$$$, we will merge vertices $$$u$$$ and $$$v$$$ if edge $$$(u,v)$$$ is marked on the DSU. When we add a new father from $$$A_i$$$ to $$$B_i$$$, we need to mark all unmarked paths from $$$A_i$$$ to $$$B_i$$$. This can be done quickly using DSU if in each DSU component, we store the highest vertex. This way we can quickly to the highest unmarked edge.

      I wrote MST for the initial graph, and then deleted edges that were not necessary. I ran dfs on MST, lets say I am at a node ND and K is a son of ND, then look at a subtree starting with K, if in this subtree there is no node that needs to pass ND on it's way to it's "interesting" node then you can delete ND-K edge.
