    Regional Mathematical Olympiad – 2006

    Time: 3 hours 3 December 2006

    1. Let ABC be an acute-angled triangle and let D, E, F be the feet of perpendicu-


    lars from A, B, C respectively to BC, CA, AB. Let the perpendiculars from F to
    CB, CA, AD, BE meet 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.

    3. If a, b, c are three positive real numbers, prove that

    a2 + 1 b2 + 1 c2 + 1
    + + ≥ 3.
    b+c c+a a+b

    4. A 6 × 6 squares 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 = 3 CD; 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 a2 + b2
    and b2 + a2 are considered as the same representation.)

    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).
