# Open Proof Contest 3

Hello Every$$\displaystyle \int_0^1{dx}$$.

This is the third part of the contest started by me.Here is the $$3^{rd}$$ part.The rules are the same as the previous ones. You need need to mail the PDFs to opencontestproofs@gmail.com. To make a PDF you can go to Latex PDF. Also you can send a snip of the solution after typing it in $$\LaTeX$$.

Here are the questions

1.Look at the figure below :

It is given that $$AB || GF$$ and $$EFGH$$ is parallelogram. Prove that $$FE || DC$$ .

$$2$$. Look at the figure below :

$$ABCD$$ is a parallelogram and $$AXY$$ is a straight line through $$A$$ meeting $$BC$$ at $$X$$ and $$DC$$ at $$Y$$. Prove that $$BX\times DY$$ is a constant.

$$3$$.Look at the figure below:

Given four points $$A,B,C,D$$ in a straight line, show that a point $$O$$ exists in the same straight line such that $$OA:OB = OC:OD$$.Also find that point.

$$4$$.Look at the figure below:

$$PQ$$ is a chord of a circle. Through the mid point $$M$$ of $$PQ$$ chords $$AB$$ and $$CD$$ are drawn. $$AD$$ and $$BC$$ meet $$PQ$$ at $$K$$ and $$L$$. Then prove that $$M$$ is the midpoint of $$KL$$.

Yeah ,it's correct . Looks like you'll win this contest for sure :P · 1 year, 12 months ago

Well , Euclid will become angry and will come for revenge on seeing my uploaded diagram above. :P :D xD · 1 year, 12 months ago

No he won't . There's only one $$\color{red}\text{Euclidean}$$ error in it . Just add two arrow heads on the ends of the line and you're done :) · 1 year, 12 months ago

Even I thought there was something wrong with the problem! Your proof is flawless. Just to clarify, ahead of $$E$$ being the midpoint of $$AC$$, you can say that $$E$$ was chosen to lie on $$XC$$. Hence, $$A$$ and $$B$$ are coincident and the triangle cannot be formed. · 1 year, 12 months ago

Q4 has been updated. · 1 year, 12 months ago

I have mad some minor mistakes while giving solutions.Please make sure you read the corrections that I have sent. · 1 year, 11 months ago

Yup thanks! It seems pretty interesting :) · 1 year, 12 months ago

Q4 has been updated. · 1 year, 12 months ago

Thanks a lot! · 1 year, 12 months ago

Welcome. · 1 year, 12 months ago

I think I have seen this somewhere... Did you create these problems? · 1 year, 12 months ago

This one not. It is a very famous theorem. · 1 year, 12 months ago

I don't know its name , but I had proved this in 8th Std. But I don't remember the proof now , So, i have to rethink now :) · 1 year, 12 months ago

Please delete the comment with contradiction to Q4 · 1 year, 12 months ago

I think , it must be deleted after 24 hours , or the people who are solving or have taken note of the previous problem will start questioning 'why it is removed , where it has gone?' .Hence I prefer deleting it after 24 hours. · 1 year, 12 months ago

Yes you are right. I am thinking of removing it. I will add another one in place of it. · 1 year, 12 months ago

Actually this suspicion came by @Omkar Kulkarni 's median contradiction. · 1 year, 12 months ago

Is Q4 fine ? · 1 year, 11 months ago

Yeah its good , I got it! · 1 year, 11 months ago

Are you going to participate ? Deadlines near · 1 year, 11 months ago

I give up on the third one, I'll try to send the others before 10:29! I completely forgot about coding the solutions. :P · 1 year, 11 months ago

Yeah , There was some problem in my latex , so I cannot send the solution for 3rd problem.No option :/ I will send solutions to only problem number 1,2,4. · 1 year, 11 months ago

@Rajdeep Dhingra , When Will you give out the results? -_- · 1 year, 11 months ago

This contest is cancelled and we all are trolled ... xD Cheers! :( :( · 1 year, 11 months ago

Could you post a solution for the third one? It is troubling me SOO much. · 1 year, 11 months ago

Why the hell is the Contest Cancelled? o.O · 1 year, 11 months ago

Sorry for that. But since Schools are going on and I am very much busy, I can't Compile the result. I will release OPC 4 on 18th May. Do participate in that one. Sorry. · 1 year, 11 months ago

Okay. No problem. :) · 1 year, 11 months ago

Rajdeep would you suggest some books for RMO · 1 year, 11 months ago

@Rajdeep Dhingra I had error with converting Latex to pdf.So i managed to convert Latex to photo. Is it ok if I send you photos? · 1 year, 11 months ago

Yes. You can send the photos. · 1 year, 11 months ago

@Rajdeep Dhingra , Can I Give my solution in MS Word? I am not really familiar with LaTeX Yet. Also, Can I give my solution in Parts? I have a lot of Homework To do. · 1 year, 11 months ago

Yes, Of course. · 1 year, 11 months ago

Okay :) · 1 year, 11 months ago

I will participate · 1 year, 11 months ago

Where is G in the figure to the first question ? · 1 year, 12 months ago

G is the point on the parallelogram. GH is parallel to EF · 1 year, 12 months ago

I understood that , but won't you make an edit in the picture ? · 1 year, 12 months ago

Right now I have to go somewhere. So I will make it in about an hour. · 1 year, 12 months ago
