Answer all the questions.
1. Let G be the centroid of a triangle ABC in which the angle C is obtuse and AD and CF be the
median from A and C respectively onto the sides BC and AB. If the four points B, D, G and F are
AC
concylic, show that
2 . If further P is a point on the line BG extended such that AGCP is a
BC
parallelogram, show that the triangle ABC and GAP are similar.
2. If x 5 x 3 x a , prove that x 6 2a 1 .
3. In any set of 181 square integers, prove that one can always find a subset of 19 numbers, sum of
whose elements is divisible by 19.
4. Find the number of non degenerate triangles whose vertices lie in the set of points (s, t) in the plane
such that 0 s 4, 0 t 4 , with s and t integers.
5. A circle passes through a vertex C of a rectangle ANCD and touches its sides AB and AD at M and
N respectively. If the distance from C to the line segment MN is equal to 5 units. Find the area of the
rectangle ABCD.
6. If f : ( is the set of real numbers) is a function satisfying the properties:
(a) f ( x ) f ( x )
(b) f ( x 1) f ( x ) 1
1 f ( x)
(c) f 2 , for x 0
x
x
Prove that f ( x ) x for all real values of x.
