Here's my code.
A common trick for multi-test problems: if you reverse the direction of your DP (such that DP[...] is in how many ways you can finish the number if your current state is [...]), then the value of states with sa=sb=1 does not depend on either A or B. This allows you to precompute the value of those states for all test cases, and for a specific case you only need to care about states with sa or sb equal to 0 (which should be very few).
Sometimes (and in this specific problem), formulating the DP in reverse should also allow you to find a faster solution for the single-test case.
can you explain this trick more?
