[6] Let $$\cos \alpha + i\cdot \sin \alpha = e^{i\alpha}$$

$$\cos \beta + i\cdot \sin \beta = e^{i\beta}$$

$$\cos \gamma + i\cdot \sin \gamma = e^{i\gamma}$$

Now Given $$\cos \alpha + \cos \beta + \cos \gamma = 0 .........................(1)$$

and $$\sin \alpha + \sin \beta + \sin \gamma = 0.......................................(2) \times i$$

$$e^{i\alpha}+e^{i\beta}+e^{i\gamma} = 0...................................................(3)$$

Now Square both Side

$$e^{2i\alpha}+e^{2i\beta}+e^{2i\gamma} + 2 \left(e^{i(\alpha+\beta)}+e^{i(\beta+\gamma)}+e^{i(\gamma+\alpha)}\right) = 0$$

Now in a $$\triangle$$ Sum of angle i.e $$\alpha+\beta+\gamma = \pi\Leftrightarrow \alpha +\beta = \pi-\gamma$$

So $$e^{2i\alpha}+e^{2i\beta}+e^{2i\gamma} +e^{i(\pi-\gamma)}+e^{i(\pi-\beta)}+e^{i(\pi-\alpha)} = 0$$

$$e^{2i\alpha}+e^{2i\beta}+e^{2i\gamma} +e^{i(\pi-\gamma)}-2\left(e^{-i\alpha}+e^{-i\beta}+e^{-i\gamma}\right) = 0$$

Now from $$(3)$$, Taking Congugate on both side, we get

$$e^{-i\alpha}+e^{-i\beta}+e^{-i\gamma} = 0$$

So $$e^{2i\alpha}+e^{2i\beta}+e^{2i\gamma} = 0$$

So $$\cos 2\alpha + \cos 2\beta+\cos 2 \gamma+i\left(\sin 2 \alpha+\sin 2 \beta+\sin 2 \gamma\right) = 0+i\cdot 0$$

we Get $$\cos 2\alpha + \cos 2\beta+\cos 2 \gamma = 0$$

and $$\sin 2\alpha + \sin 2\beta+\sin 2 \gamma = 0$$

Question 10.

Firstly $$r_1 = \tfrac{1}{8b}(a^2 + 4b^2)$$ and $$r_2 = \tfrac{1}{8a}(4a^2 + b^2)$$. To see this, for example, suppose that $$P$$ has coordinates $$(0,\tfrac12a)$$, $$Q$$ coordinates $$(0,-\tfrac12a)$$. Then the centre of the first circle will have coordinates $$(x,0)$$ for some $$x$$, and the circle will touch $$RS$$ at its midpoint $$(b,0)$$. Then $$x^2 + \tfrac14a^2 = (b-x)^2$$, which gives us $$x$$. Then $$r_1=b-x$$. While $$x$$ could be negative, $$r_1$$ cannot.

Then $\begin{array}{rcl} r_1+r_2 & = & \frac{a(a^2+4b^2)+b(4a^2+b^2)}{8ab} \; = \; \frac{a^3+b^3 + 4a^2b + 4ab^2}{8ab} \\ & = & \frac{(a+b)(a^2-ab + b^2 + 4ab)}{8ab} \; = \; \frac{(a+b)(a^2 + 3ab + b^2)}{8ab} \\ & = & \tfrac{1}{8}(a+b)\big[3 + \tfrac{a}{b} + \tfrac{b}{a}\big] \; \ge \; \tfrac{1}{8}(a+b)[3+2] \; = \; \tfrac{5}{8}(a+b) \end{array}$

2[b]:: Here $$a,b\in \mathbb{R}$$ and $$3a^4-4a^3b+b^4\geq 0$$

Now this is a Homogeneous equation, so Let $$a = bx$$ and Let $$y = 3b^4x^4-4b^3x^3\cdot b+b^4$$

So $$y = b^4\cdot \left(3x^4-4x^3+1\right) = b^4\cdot (x-1)^2\cdot (3x^2+2x+1)\geq 0$$

bcz $$3x^2+2x+1 = 3\left(x+\frac{1}{3}\right)^2+\frac{8}{3}>0\;\forall x\in \mathbb{R}$$

There is also a simple answer to this. It goes like this:

We have, $$3a^4-4a^3b+b^4$$ $$=a^4-2a^2b^2+b^4+2a^2b^2+2a^4-4a^3b$$ $$=(a^2-b^2)^2+2a^2(b^2+a^2-2ab)$$ $$= (a^2-b^2)^2+2a^2(a-b)^2 \geq 0$$

Question 9 is nothing but inclusion-exclusion principle...perhaps!

- 4 years, 2 months ago

how to do it? if we can find the number of cubes less than $$10^8$$ and number of fifth power numbers less than $$10^8$$ then only we can solve it. Is there another way?

- 4 years, 2 months ago

The first question is very easy to solve. First of all, p^6 - 1 is divisible by 7, can be proved by fermat's little theorem. Next, p^6 -1 can be factorised to find whether it is divisible by 3^2, next the factorisation can also help to find whther it is divisble by 2^3. So 504 = 7* (3^2) * (2^3). This means p^6-1 is divisible by 504.

Challenge masters please give some hints!!!!!!!!!!

- 4 years, 2 months ago

Here are the anwers ( not for the proof - type questions.)

2(a) $$\rightarrow 153846$$

4(b) $$\rightarrow$$$$7!4!\binom{6}{2}$$

5 $$\rightarrow$$ 90

7 $$\rightarrow \pi x^2$$

8(a) $$\rightarrow 184$$

8(b) $$\rightarrow x - y\sqrt{3} - 2 = 0$$ , $$(2 + \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} , \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$$

- 4 years, 2 months ago

yes, thanks, question 2(a), 5, 7, 8(a) matches with my solution, but can you give some explanation in 4(b). and I think your 8(b) is wrong. the angle of AC with x-axis is 60 degree. So, $$\tan{60} = \frac {y - 0}{x - 2}$$ Thus equation is $$y= \sqrt{3}x - 2 \sqrt{3}$$ which is my answer, and the coordinate also has some error. Am I right?

- 4 years, 2 months ago

ok , i went wrong in q.8(b) , it is rotated anti - clockwise , i rotated it clockwise.

4(b) Give end seats to grandchildren in $$4\times3$$ ways.

Now choose 1 seat out of 7 for grandfather( you can't select the seat which second from left or right.).in $$7$$ ways.

Then choose 2 seats out of 6 for remaining two grandchildren ( as we can't choose from grandfather's left or right and 3 seats are already occupied) and permutate in $${6 \choose 2}2!$$ ways.

Now , six seats for sons and daughters remain , $$6!$$ ways for them.

Total no. of ways = $$4\times3\times7\times{6 \choose 2}2!\times6! = 7!4!{6 \choose 2}$$

am I right in question 8(b), then what is the coordinate of C? In 4. how did you write- Give end seats to grandchildren in 4×3 ways? as far as I have understood the question,two seats each on the left and right ends of row is occupied by children. Am I wrong or You are mistaken..

- 4 years, 2 months ago

Left and Right end seats are occupied by grand children .

For left seat it has four options and right has three options ( as one is already taken by left one.). Hence by Fundamental principle of counting , no. of ways = $$4\times 3$$.

8(b) . $$( 2 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} , \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}})$$

- 4 years, 2 months ago

okay, 8(b) is correct and also matches my solution.
In 4, I am still confused.Look and find error in my solution, it goes like this:

The extreme 2 seats on both ends are occupied by grand children. So 4 grand children occupy 4 seats in $$4!$$ ways. Numbering the seats 1,2,3.....11, we find that Grandfather canno sit on 3rd and 9th seat. So grandfather can sit on any one of 4th,5th,6th,7th,8th seats. This is done in $$5$$ ways.

Now after this arrangement, we have 6 seats left on which 6 son/daughter is to sit. This can be done in $$6!$$ ways

Therefore total possibilities= $$4!.5.6!$$

Tell which one you couldn't solve .

- 4 years, 2 months ago

Please give solutions to all the questions you can, I will check the questions done by me and will understand what didn't solved.. Thanks

- 4 years, 2 months ago

- 4 years, 2 months ago

Did you try them already? Which did you manage to solve?

- 4 years, 2 months ago

I did q.1,2,4(b), 5,7,8, but try to give solutions of every question, so that I could verify my answers

- 4 years, 2 months ago

It would be better for you to state your solutions / approaches, and have others comment on it.

There can be subtleties in proof based questions, which would result in a 'similar-looking' answer being marked wrong.
