Re: A problem of combinatorics
A person can shake hands with others for maximum $35$ times. Suppose $A_1$ shook hands 35 times with $A_2$,$A_3$....$A_{36}$. Then $A_2$ can shake hands maximum $34$ times.As he has already shaken hands with $A_1$, suppose he hasn't shaken hands with $A_3$.Similarly $A_3$ hasn't shaken hands with $A...

IMO 1974/1
Alice, Betty, and Carol took a series of examinations. There were one grade of $A$, one grade of $B$, and one grade of $C$ for each examination, where $A,B$ and $C$ are different positive integers. The final test scores were: Alice = $20$ Betty = $10$ Carol = $9$ If Betty placed first in the arithme...

Re: Find XYZ
Got the proof:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_number.
So,there should be infinitively many solutions possible for this problem.

Re: number theory
We can observe that $$2014=2\times19\times53$$.Here $53$ is the biggest prime factor of $2014$. We have to find $\sum\frac{500}{53^n}$ for $n>0$. There are $9$ numbers that are multiples of $53$ from $1$ to $500$. No other multiples of $53^n$ are within numbers $1$ to $500$,where $n>1$. Thus,we get ...

Re: 2014-national
The solution is:
For an $m \times n$ chessboard, the number of the knights is $n \times \lceil\dfrac{m}{3}\rceil$.

Re: 2014-national
You can place the knights in this order.This in an $8 \times 7$ chessboard.Hope this helps you.

Re: Sylhet - 2014
Since $x$ is divisible by $3k$, the maximum possible value of $3k$ will be $x$.
So, the maximum value if $k$ will be $x/3$.
We can also write it as $m^2(m+1)(m+2)(m+3)....(3m-1)$.
So, in this case the maximum value of $k$ will be $1000^2$x$1001$x$1002$......x$2999$.
So, the maximum value if $k$ will be $x/3$.

Re: Regular Polygon inscribed in a circle
A regular polygon inscribed in a circle with center $O$ has $n$ points(where $n$ is odd). Let, $$N=\lfloor\dfrac{n}{2}\rfloor$$. Then the number of the triangles having $O$ as inscribed is $N^2+(N-1)^2+(N-2)^2+........+1$. In this case the answer is $385$. Please let me know if there are any other t...

Re: maximum area
When the perimeters are equal, the area of circle will be maximum. In this case while $N$ is the perimeter,for the triangles, the area of the equilateral triangle will be greater than the others.If $A$ is the area and $$s=(a+b+c)/2$$ of a triangle we can write it as $$A^2=s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)$$.From the...
