INMO–2008
1. Let ABC be a triangle, I its in-centre; A1, B1, C1 be the reflections of
I in BC, CA, AB respectively. Suppose the circum-circle of triangle
A1B1C1 passes through A. Prove that B1, C1, I, I1 are concyclic,
where I1 is the in-centre of triangle A1B1C1.
2. Find all triples (p, x, y) such that px = y4 + 4, where p is a prime and
x, y are natural numbers.
3. Let A be a set of real numbers such that A has at least four elements.
Suppose A has the property that a2 + bc is a rational number for all
distinct numbers a, b, c in A. Prove that there exists a positive integer
M such that a
√
M is a rational number for every a in A.
4. All the points with integer coordinates in the xy-plane are coloured
using three colours, red, blue and green, each colour being used at
least once. It is known that the point (0, 0) is coloured red and the
point (0, 1) is coloured blue. Prove that there exist three points with
integer coordinates of distinct colours which form the vertices of a
right-angled triangle.
5. Let ABC be a triangle; ΓA, ΓB, ΓC be three equal, disjoint circles
inside ABC such that ΓA touches AB and AC; ΓB touches AB and
BC; and ΓC touches BC and CA. Let Γ be a circle touching circles
ΓA, ΓB, ΓC externally. Prove that the line joining the circum-centre
O and the in-centre I of triangle ABC passes through the centre of Γ.
6. Let P(x) be a given polynomial with integer coefficients. Prove that
there exist two polynomials Q(x) and R(x), again with integer coeffi-
cients, such that (i) P(x)Q(x) is a polynomial in x2; and (ii) P(x)R(x)
is a polynomial in x3.
