ROUND 2 QUESTIONS

Problem 1 :

A sphere of radius r can be inscribed in a tetrahedron. The distances between the centroid of the tetrahedron
and its four faces are w, x, y and z. Prove that wxyz ≥ r4 .

Problem 2 :

Given that f (x) = x + 1 and g(x) = 2x, how many different ways are there of combining f (x) and g(x) (this
means doing any number of compositions like f g(x) or g 3 f 2 g(x) etc) such that the resulting composition is
8x + 8m where m ≥ 0 is an integer?

Find a general formula for the number of possibilities in terms of m

Problem 3 :

Let’s define a function φ : N → N, where 0 ∈


/ N, as follows
n
X
φ(n) = k!
k=1

Let V be defined as the set of all triplets (x, y, z) ∈ N such that φ(x) = y z+1 . For a triplet x, y, z (denoted
by v) in V, we define h xy i √ zn
fv (n) = 8 b nc + .
8 z+x−y

([x] is fractional part of x and bxc is greatest integer less than x)

Show that for any v ∈ V and m ∈ N the sequence

m, fv (m), fv (fv (m)), fv (fv (fv (m))), ...

contains at least one square of a natural number. Please note that [x] here refers to the fractional part of
x, it can also be denoted as {x} but it is denoted as [x] here.
