Time 3 Hrs
Instructions:
Calculators (in any form) and protractors are not allowed.
Ruler and compass allowed.
Answer all the questions.
1. Let ABC be a triangle in which AB = AC and mCAB 90 0 . Suppose M and N are points on the
hypotenuse BC such that BM 2 CN 2 MN 2 . Prove that mMAN 45 0 .
n n
n n
2. If n is an integer greater than 7, prove that is divisible by 7. Here denotes the
7 7
7 7
number of ways of choosing 7 objects from n objects and [x] is greatest integer less than equal to x.
3. Let a, b, c be three positive real numbers such that a b c 1 . Prove that among the three numbers
a ab, b bc, c ca there is one which is at most and there is one which is at least 2/9.
4. Find the number of order triples (x, y, z) of non negative integers satisfying the conditions:
(a) x y z .
(b) x y z 100 .
5. Suppose P is an interior point of a triangle ABC such that the ratios
d ( A, BC ) d ( B, CA) d (C , AB)

. Find the common value of these ratios. Here d(X, YZ) denotes
d ( P, BC ) d ( P, CA) d ( P, AB)
the perpendicular distance from X to line YZ.
6. Find all real numbers a for which the equation x 2 (a 2) x 1 3 x has exactly three distinct
real solutions in x.
7. Consider the set X = {1, 2, 3,..., 10}. Find two disjoint nonempty subsets A and B of X such that:
(a) A B X .
(b) prod(A) is divisible by prod(B), where for any finite set of numbers C; prod(C) denotes the
product of all numbers in the set.
(c) The quotient prod(A)/prod(B) is as small as possible.
