SSC Mock'16 : Problem 1
Well, this might be easy but still an interesting one to me.
Find all finite sets of positive integers with at least two elements such that for any two numbers $a,b$ belonging to the set with $a>b$, the number $\dfrac{b^2}{a-b}$ belongs to the set, too.

Re: Iran TST 2012,Exam2,Day2,P4
My solution Let $a \ge b \ge c > 0$. Then by applying chebyshev, we get, \[ \sum_{cyc}^{} \dfrac{a\sqrt{a}}{bc} \ge \dfrac{1}{3} \left( \sum_{cyc}^{} \dfrac{a}{bc} \right)\left( \sum_{cyc}^{} \sqrt{a} \right) \] Then it's enough to prove that \begin{align*} \dfrac{1}{3} \left( \sum_{cyc} \dfrac{a}{b...

A Geometric Inequality
Let $a,b,c$ be the sides of $\triangle ABC$ and $x$ be any non-negative real number. Prove that,
\[ a^x \cos A+ b^x \cos B + c^x \cos C
\leq \dfrac{1}{2}(a^x+b^x+c^x) . \]
\[ a^x \cos A+ b^x \cos B + c^x \cos C
\leq \dfrac{1}{2}(a^x+b^x+c^x) . \]

Re: Inequality with condition $xy+yz+zx=3xyz$
I think 2 is not annoying here as you can simply have by AM-GM,
\[ \sum_{cyc} (x^2y+\dfrac{1}{y}) \geq 2\sum_{cyc} x \]
the desired inequality!!!
\[ \sum_{cyc} (x^2y+\dfrac{1}{y}) \geq 2\sum_{cyc} x \]
the desired inequality!!!

Re: IMO 2016 Problem 6
The main idea of my solution Part (a) : WLOG, we may assume that the line segments are actually chords of a circle and all the chords intersect one another inside the circle. Now we shall label the endpoints one after another like $A_1, A_2,....A_{2n}$. Thus points $A_k$ and $A_{k+n}$ are the end p...

An exercise
Let $a_1,a_2,......a_n$ are positive real numbers such that $\sum_{i=1}^{n} \dfrac{1}{a_i} = 1$. Prove that,
\[ \sum_{i=1}^{n} \dfrac{a_i^2}{i} > \dfrac{2n}{n+1} \]
\[ \sum_{i=1}^{n} \dfrac{a_i^2}{i} > \dfrac{2n}{n+1} \]

Re: Minimum & maximum
My solution The given equation is equivalent to, $p+r= \dfrac{2015-r}{q} $ or, $p+q+r= \dfrac{2015-r}{q} + q$ Now let $a= \dfrac{2015-r}{q}$ and $b=q$. Then we have, \[ p+q+r=a+b \] with $q=b$, $r=2015-ab$ and $p=a+ab-2015$. So now we've to actually find the minimum and maximum values of $a+b$. As, ...
