Fruit Basket Sort

You have a collection of fruit names with their quantities in a basket. Your task is to sort them in descending order based on quantity. If two fruits have the same quantity, sort them alphabetically by their names. Input consists of multiple lines with each line containing a fruit name followed by the quantity, separated by a space. Output should be the sorted list with fruit names and quantities, one per line. Example: Input: Apple 10 Banana 5 Cherry 10 Output: Apple 10 Cherry 10 Banana 5
