    Pre-Regional Mathematical Olympiad 2016

    West Bengal Region | 11 September 2016

    ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEMS

    1. Consider all possible integers n 0 such that

    (5 3m ) + 4 = n2

    holds for some corresponding integer m 0. Find the sum of all such n.

    2. Find the number of integer solutions of the equation

    x2016 + (2016! + 1!) x2015 + (2015! + 2!) x2014 + + (1! + 2016!) = 0,

    where n! = n (n 1) 3 2 1, for n 1.

    3. Suppose N is any positive integer. Add the digits of N to obtain a smaller


    integer. Repeat this process of digit-addition till you get a single digit num-
    ber n. Find the number of positive integers N 1000, such that the final
    single-digit number n is equal to 5.
    Example: N = 563 (5 + 6 + 3) = 14 (1 + 4) = 5 will be counted as one such integer.

    4. Consider a right-angled triangle ABC with 6 C = 90 . Suppose that the


    hypotenuse AB is divided into four equal parts by the points D, E, F , such
    that AD = DE = EF = F B. If CD2 + CE 2 + CF 2 = 350, find the length of
    AB.

    5. Consider a triangle ABC with AB = 13, BC = 14, CA = 15. A line perpen-


    dicular to BC divides the interior of 4ABC into two regions of equal area.
    Suppose that the aforesaid perpendicular cuts BC at D, and cuts 4ABC
    again at E. If L is the length of the line segment DE, find L2 .


    6. Suppose a circle C of radius 2 touches the Y -axis at the origin (0, 0). A ray
    of light L, parallel to the X-axis, reflects on a point P on the circumference
    of C, and after reflection, the reflected ray L0 becomes parallel to the Y -axis.
    Find the distance between the ray L and the X-axis.

    7. Find the coefficient of a5 b5 c5 d6 in the expansion of the following expression.
    7
    (bcd + acd + abd + abc)

    8. Find the number of integer solutions of


    h x h x ii
    = 5.
    100 100

    9. Let and be the roots of the equation x2 + x 3 = 0. Find the value of


    the expression 4 2 3 .

    10. Let M be the maximum value of (6x3y8z), subject to 2x2 +3y 2 +4z 2 = 1.
    Find [M ].

    11. For real numbers x and y, let M be the maximum value of the expression

    x4 y + x3 y + x2 y + xy + xy 2 + xy 3 + xy 4 , subject to x + y = 3.

    Find [M ].

    12. Let S = 1 + + + + + + . Find [S].
    2 3 4 99 100
    1 
    You may use the fact that n< 2
    n+ n+1 < n + 1 for all integers n 1.

    13. Find the total number of times the digit 2 appears in the set of integers
    {1, 2, . . . , 1000}. For example, the digit 2 appears twice in the integer 229.

    14. Find the minimum value of m such that any m-element subset of the set of
    integers {1, 2, . . . 2016} contains at least two distinct numbers a and b which
    satisfy |a b| 3.

    2
    15. Find the number of pairs of positive integers (m, n), with m n, such that
    the least common multiple (LCM) of m and n equals 600.

    16. For positive real numbers x and y, define their special mean to be average
    of their arithmetic and geometric means. Find the total number of pairs of
    integers (x, y), with x y, from the set of numbers {1, 2, . . . , 2016}, such
    that the special mean of x and y is a perfect square.
