Answer all the questions.
1. Let ABC be an acute angled triangle and let D, E, F be the foot of perpendiculars from A, B, C
respectively to BC, CA, AB. Let the perpendiculars from F to CB, CA, AD, BE meets them in P, Q,
M, N respectively. Prove that P, Q, M, N are collinear.
2. Find the least possible value of a b , where a, b are positive integers such that 11 divides a 13b
and 13 divides a 11b .
a 2 1 b2 1 c2 1
3. If a, b, c are three positive real numbers, prove that:
3.
bc ca ab
4. A 6X6 square is dissected into 9 rectangles by lines parallel to its sides such that all these rectangles
have only integer sides. Prove that there are always two congruent rectangles.
5. Let ABCD be a quadrilateral in which AB is parallel to CD and perpendicular to AD; AB = 3CD
and the area of the quadrilateral is 4. If a circle can be drawn touching all the sides of the
quadrilateral. Find its radius.
6. Prove that there are infinitely many positive integers n, such that n(n+1) can be expressed as a sum
of two positive squares in at least two different ways. (Here a 2 b 2 and b 2 a 2 are considered as
the same representations).
7. Let X be the set of all positive integers greater than or equal to 8 and let f : X X be a function
such that f ( x y ) f ( xy ) for all x 4 , y 4 . If f (8) 9 , determine f (9) .
