STAGE - II
SUBJECT : MATHEMATICS
Date: 26-01-2015
Time : 4 hr.
Instructions :

Calculators (in any form) and protractors are not allowed.

Maximum marks : 100

Rulers and compasses are allowed.

Answer all the questions, each question carry equal marks.

1.

Let ABC be a triangle, let B1 be the midpoint of the side AB and C1 the midpoint of the side AC. Let P be
the point of intersection, other than A, of the circumscribed circles around the triangles ABC1 and AB1C.
Let P1 be the point of intersection, other than A, of the line AP with the circumscribed circle around the
triangle AB1C1. Prove that 2AP = 3AP1.

2.

In an acute triangle ABC, the segment CD is an altitude and H is the orthocentre. Given that the
circumcentre of the triangle lies on the line containing the bisector of the angle DHB, determine all
possible values of CAB.

3.

Let a1, a2, ..., an be positive real numbers, and let S = a1 + a2 + + an. Prove that
(2S + n)(2S + a1a2 + a2a3 + + ana1) 9 ( a1a2 a2 a3 ..... an a1 )2

4.

Are there four distinct positive integers such that adding the product of any two of them to 2006 yields a
perfect square?

5.

Suppose that F, G, H are polynomials of degree at most 2n + 1 with real coefficients such that:
1. For all real x we have
F(x) G(x) H(x).
2. There exist distinct real numbers x1, x2, ..., xn such that
F(xi) = H(xi)

for i = 1,2,...,n.

3. There exists a real number x0 different from x1, x2, ..., xn such that
F(x0) + H(x0) = 2G(x0).
Prove that F(x) + H(x) = 2G(x) for all real numbers x.

6.

Let m = 30030 = 2.3.5.7.11.13 and let M be the set of its positive divisors which have exactly two prime
factors. Determine the minimal integer n with the following property: for any choice of n numbers from
M, there exist three numbers a, b, c among them satisfying a.b.c = m.
