Get Lowest Free - CodeChef


Problem Statement :


Chef goes to the supermarket to buy some items. Luckily there's a sale going on under which Chef gets the following offer:

If Chef buys 3 items then he gets the item (out of those 3 items) having the lowest price as free.
For e.g. if Chef bought 3 items with the cost 6, 2 and 4, then he would get the item with cost 2 as free. So he would only have to pay the cost of the other two items which will be 6+4=10.

Chef buys 3 items having prices A, B and C respectively. What is the amount of money Chef needs to pay?

Input Format

The first line will contain an integer T - number of test cases. Then the test cases follow.
The first and only line of each test case contains three integers A,B,C - the prices of the items bought by Chef.

Output Format

For each test case, output the price paid by Chef.

Constraints
