1. The sides of a triangle are three consecutive integers and its inradius is four units. Determine the circumradius.
2. Find all triples (a, b, c) of positive integers such that ![]()
3. Solve for real number x and y:
xy2 = 15x2 + 17xy + 15y2
x2y = 20x2 + 3y2.
4. Suppose N is an n-digit positive integer such that
(a) all the n-digits are distinct; and
(b) the sum of any three consecutive digits is divisible by 5.
Prove that n is at most 6. Further, show that starting with any digit one can find a six-digit number with these properties.
5. Let ABC be a triangle and ha the altitude through A. Prove that
(b+c)2 ≥ a2+4h2a.
(As usual a, b, c denote the sides BC, CA, AB respectively.)
6. Given any positive integer n show that there are two positive rational numbers a and b, a ≠ b,
which are not integers and which are such that a − b, a2 − b2, a3 − b3, . . . , an − bn are all integers.
7. If A is a fifty-element subset of the set {1, 2, 3, . . . , 100} such that no two numbers from A add up to 100 show that A contains a square.
