01. A tasty number is a positive integer such that the product of its digits equals 36. Let a and b be
numbers defined as follows.
02. Once upon a time there was a wise King. His castle was in the centre of four concentric circular
walls of radii 50, 100, 150, 200 and the land surrounded by the largest wall was used as the castle
grounds (including the land inside the other walls). There were peaceful times, so he decided to
tear down all four walls and build only one circular wall, again with his castle as the center, of
maximal possible radius from the material of the old ones. Given, the ratio of the area of the new
castle grounds and the area of the old one is a/b, then find a + b.

To find a tasty number with the smallest possible sum of digits, note that erasing all
occurences of the digit 1decreases the sum of the digits and keeps the product unchanged. Since
d1 d2 d1 d2 holds for any digits d1 , d 2 1 , we conclude that the smallest possible sum of
digits is achieved (not only, though) by 2233 and equals 10. The sought difference is thus
13 10 3 .
02. We know that the sum of the perimeters of the four circular walls will be the perimeter of new

f 17 17 and the unit digit of the powers of 7 (also powers of 17) follow the pattern 7, 9, 3,
f 15
1, 7, 9, 3, 1 which repeat every four terms, we conclude that the unit digit of f 17 is the same as
that of 17 3 , which is 3.
Finally, if we look at the last two digits of the powers of 19, we will see the pattern 19, 61, 56, 21,
99, 81, 39, 41, 79, 01, 19, 61, which repeat every 10 terms. As f 17 has unit digit 3, the last two

06. Each diameter has the same sum and contains the central cell, so the pair at the end of each
diameter must have the same sum. These four pairs have sum 40, so each pair must have sum 10.
Since each diameter has sum 13, the central number must be 3.
07. Note that there cannot be two consecutive boys. (To see this, take the longest chain of consecutive
boys. Then he last boy is next to a boy and a girl, so this boy would be telling the truth.) Hence
there must be some number (one or more) of girs between two boys, and so the students on the
circle are of the form BG G BG G BG G
when B and G denote a boy and a girls respectively. We call the students within each pair of
parentheses a block, which consists of exactly one boy and one or more girls. A girl is lying (i.e.
the two students next to her are of the same gender) if and only if
she is in a block of three or more girls and she is neither the first nor the last girl.
Since 28 1 mod3 , one of the lying girls is of the former type and two are of the latter type. (If
ll are of the former type, then there are three BG and the rest are BGG , so the number of
students is divisible by 3. Similar contradictions arise if all students are of the latter type, or if
two are of the former type and one is of the latter type.) It follows that there is exactly one BG
block. The remaining 26 students into one of the blocks (possibly the same one). Hence there are
9 blocks in total, meaning that there are 9 boys and hence 28 – 9 = 19 girls in the class.

08. Number the people 1,…,8. If two people sitting next to each other have both their dishes placed
in the same (not on front of them) direction, then everyone must have their dishes placed in that
direction, forming a cycle. This contributes 2 placements.
For the remaiing cases, note that each person either has his dish in front of him or the person has
his dish swapped with one of his neighbors. Thus the question becomes counting the number of
ways to partition a circle of 8 points into some singletons and adjacent pairs.
If person 1 is not in a pair with anyone else then this becomes equivalent to finding the number
of ways to partition a circle of 8 points into some singletons and adjacent pairs.
If person 1 is not in a pair with anyone else then this becomes equivalent to finding the number
of ways to do this with 7 points on a line, which is easy to work out as F7 21 . Otherwise 1 is
paired with 8 or 2 and in each case it becomes pairing 6 pairing 6 points on a line, for a total of
2 F6 ways.
This gives the answer F7 2 F6 2 49 .
09. There must be either 1 or 3 odd numbers in each row as well as each column in order for all row
sums and column sums to be odd. Since there are 5 odd numbers in total, there must be a row
containing 3 odd numbers. The other two rows each contains one odd number, and these two
odd numbers must be in the same column in order for all column sums to be odd.
In other words, there are 9 ways to choose the cells to place the odd numbers (3 choices for the
row to contain 3 odd numbers, and then 3 choices for the column to place the remaining 2 odd
numbers). As far as the required probability is concerned, only the parties of the numbers in each
cell, rather than the numbers themselves, are relevant. As the number of ways of choosing 5 cells
9 1
for the odd numbers is C 59 126 , the required probability is .

is strictly greater than k 3 k 2 11k 1 . Setting c k 1 we need to solve
k 1 3 k 3 3k 2 3k 1 k 3 k 2 11k 1 2k 2 8k k 4
So substituting this back into k 3 k 2 11k 1 gives the unique square to be 125.
12. Let S be the sum of the three numbers recorded. For each question, either all three participants
choose the same answer (in which case the question will contribute 3 to S), or two participants
choose the same answer and the third chooses a different answer (in which case the question will

contribute e1 to S). Hence S is at least 2021, and so at least one the numbers recorded exceeds 673
(for 73 × 3 <2021), i.e. the score of the team is at least 674. Now consider the following scenario.
Since she cycles 3 times as fast as she runs, she cycles at 3r km/h.
Thus, the ratio of the distance that she cycles to the distance that she runs in equivalent to the
ratio 12r km: r km which is equivalent to 12:1.

Finding the number of possible values of n is thus equivalent to finding the number of positive
integers m with 1 m 31 1000 that are the product of two prime numbers.
The prime numbers that are at most 31 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31.

Any other product either duplicates one that we have counted already, or is larger that 31.
18. Since 3 × 5 × 7 = 105, then the greatest possible value of n is at least 105.
For the product of three numbers to be positive, either all three numbers are positive (that is,
none of the number is negative) or none number is positive and two numbers are negative. (If
there were and odd number of negative factors, the product would be negative.) If all three
numbers are positive, the product is as larger as possible when the three numbers are each as
large as possible, In this case, the greatest possible value of n is 3 × 5 × 7 = 105. If one number is
positive and two numbers are negative, their product is as large as possible if the positive
number is as large as possible (7) and the product of the two negative numbers is as large as
possible.
The product of the two negative numbers will be as large as possible when the negative numbers
are each “as negative as possible” (that is, as far from 0 as possible). In this case, these numbers
are thus –4 and –6 with product 4 6 24 . (We can check the other possible products of
two negative numbers and see that none is as large.)
Combining the two cases, we see that the greatest possible value of n is 168.
19. Let x be the given number. Note that x is slightly bigger than 30006 729 1018 .

3000 a 1000y a ,

for some integer y. Therefore, the units, tens, and hundreds digits of 3000 a are the same as
those of a 6 . Of the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, only 4 6 ends with the digits 096.
Therefore, the answer is 3004
So, the product of all digits =0.
20. If the shaded pieces on the right-hand side are reflected in a central vertical line, the total shaded
area is then the area of one large circle minus the areas of two small circles. The radius of each
large circle is 2 cm so the shaded area, in cm2, equals 2 2 2 12 4 2 2 .

So, times the total area of the shaded regions = 2.

21. First we can find that the area of ABC is 84, either by nothing that it can be split into 5-12-13
and 9-12-15 triangles, or using Heron’s formula. Let the orthocenter of ABC be H. The
circumcircle of DEF is the 9-point circle of ABC and thus I, J, K are the midpoints of AH, BH,

22. Any common term must appear in Shreya’s sequence. I can clearly appear in both sequences, in
which case it is the smallest common term (as there are no terms smaller than 1 in Shreya’s
sequence). If 6 appears in Himaja’s sequence, then it continues 3, 0, –3, . . . and none of these
overlap with Shreya’s sequence. So 6 could be the smallest common term. Similarly, if 11 appears
in Himaja’s sequence, then it continues 8, 5, 2, –1, . . . which again does not overlap with Shreya’s,
so the smallest common term could be 11. However, if 16 appears in Himaja’s sequence, then so
does 1, so 16 cannot be the smallest common term.
In general, suppose x appears in both sequences. Then Shreya’s sequence contains x – 5, x – 10, x
– 15 and Himaja’s sequence contains x – 3, x – 6, x – 9, x – 12, x – 15. So x – 15 which appear in
both sequences.
Therefore the smallest common term can be at most 15, and the possible values of c are 1, 6 and
11.
We have shown in part (a) that successive common terms differ by 15. Therefore the 100 common
terms are c + 15k, where k = 0, 1, . . . , 99 and c = 1, 6 or 11.
When c = 1, the 100th common term is 1 + 15 9 1486, and this could be the first term of
Hillary’s sequence could also start from 1489, 1492, 1495 or 1498 and the largest common term
would still be 1486. But if Himaja’s sequence started from 1501, then this would be the 101st
common term. So when
P a g e | 11
TARGET IOQM 2022 DRONA MOCK PAPERS
c = 1 there are five possible values of a.
Similarly, when c = 6, the first term of Himaja’s sequence could be 6 15 99 1491, and also
1494, 1497, 1500 or 1503 but not 1506. Finally, when c = 11, the first term of Hillary’s sequence
could be 1496, 1499, 1502, 1505 or 1508.
Therefore, there are 15 possible values of a, the smallest being 1486 and the largest 1508.
23. We proceed by PIE and complementary counting, finding the number of ways to select five
integers from the given set such that there is at least one triplet of consecutive integers. The five
chosen integers divide the remaining six into six distinct groups.
Thus, we wish to determine the number of solutions to
a1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a5 a6 6
with at least one pair a i , a i 1 equal to (0, 0) for 2 i 5.
Let A be the set of solutions in which a2 = a3 = 0, B be the set of solutions in which a3 = a4 = 0, and
C be the set of solutions in which a4 = a5 = 0. Note that by setting two ai to 0, the equation reduces
to four variables summing to 6.
So by stars-and-bars,

original number is equal to 10b + a and the new number is equal to 10ka + 6, where k is the
