7th National Math Camp 2011: IMO Team Selection Tests

Unread post by Moon » Sun Mar 13, 2011 7:42 am

At last I have got the green signal from Mahbub Sir to post the problems. 4 of these 12 problems were from IMO shortlist (ISL) 2010; so we can infer that the problem sets were not easy. Congratulations to the people who had solved them.

However, according to the rule of IMO, we can not disclose the ISL problems before IMO 2011. So the campers MUST NOT share those problems (that are omitted here) with other people.

Like IMO, every exam had 3 problems and the contestants were given 4.5 hours for solving those problems.


Exam 1: Geometry 1

Problem 1:

Problem 2:
For an acute triangle $ABC$ satisfying $AB \neq AC$, denote by $H$ the feet of the perpendicular line segment drawn from the point $A$ to the side $BC$. Take points $P$ and $Q$ in such a way that the $3$ points $A,B,P$ and the $3$ points $A,C,Q$ lie on a straight line in the given order, respectively. If the $4$ points $B,C,P,Q$ lie on the circumference of a circle, and also $HP=HQ$, prove that the point $H$ must coincide with the circumcenter of the triangle $APQ$.

Problem 3:
Let $\omega$ be the circumcircle of a triangle $ABC$. Let $D$ be a variable point on the arc $AB$ that does not contain $C$, note that $D\neq A,B$. Let $E,F$ be the incenters of the triangles $CAD$ and $CBD$, respectively. Find the locus of the second intersection point of the circumcircle of triangle $DEF$ and $\omega$, as $D$ varies on the arc $AB$.

Exam 2: Geometry 2

Problem 1:
Given an arbitrary triangle $ABC$ with area $T$ and perimeter $L$. Let $P,Q,R$ be the points of tangency of the sides $BC,CA,AB$ respectively with the inscribed circle. Prove that \[ \left ( \frac{AB}{PQ} \right )^3+ \left ( \frac{BC}{QR} \right )^3+\left ( \frac{CA}{RP} \right )^3 \geq \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot \frac{L^2}{T}\]

Problem 2:
Given trapezoid $ABCD$ with parallel sides $AB$ and $CD$, let $E$ be a point on line $BC$ outside segment $BC$, such that segment $AE$ intersects segment $CD$. Assume that there exists a point $F$ inside segment $AD$ such that $\angle EAD=\angle CBF$. Denote by $I$ the intersection point of $CD$ and $EF$. Let $K$ be the midpoint of segment $EF$, and assume that $K$ is different from $I$ and $J$.
Prove $K$ belong to the circumcircle of $\triangle ABI$ if and only if $K$ belongs to the circumcircle of $\triangle CDJ$.

Problem 3:



Exam 3: Number Theory 1

Problem 1:

Problem 2:
Consider a polygon with $n$ sides. Each side has the same length $l$. The vertices of the polygon $(x_i,y_i)$ are rational coordinates, $a_i=x_{i+1}-x_i$, $b_i=y_{i+1}-y_i$, and ${a_i}^2+{b_i}^2=l^2$ for $i=1,2,\cdots,n$. Prove that $n$ is even.

Problem 3:
The integer $x$ is at least $3$ and $n=x^6-1$. Let $p$ be a prime and $k$ be a positive integer such that $p^k$ is a factor of $n$. Show that $p^{3k}<8n$.

Exam 4: Number Theory 2

Problem 1:
Find all prime numbers $p$ for which $p^3-4p+9$ is a perfect square.

Problem 2:

Problem 3:
$N$ is a $5$ digit number, of which the first and the last digits are nonzero. $N$ is a palindromic product if
  • $N$ is a palindrome (it reads the same way from the left to right or right to left such as $12321$).
  • $N$ is a product of two positive integers, of which the first, when read from left to right, is equal to the second, when read from right to left. For example, $20502$ is a palindromic product, since $102\cdot 201=20502$ and $20502$ itself is a palindrome.
Determine all palindromic products with $5$ digits.

Could you clarify this?
