August 29, 2019 M CUBE: Math-e-Matics by Maheshwari RMO Let Ω be a circle with a chord AB which is not a diameter. Let Γ1 be a circle on one side of AB such that it is tangent to AB at C and internally tangent to Ω at D. Likewise, let Γ2 be a circle on the other side of AB such that it is tangent to AB at E and internally tangent to Ω at F. Suppose the line DC intersects Ω at X 6= D and the line F E intersects Ω at Y 6= F. Prove that XY is a diameter of Ω RMO 2017
August 29, 2019 M CUBE: Math-e-Matics by Maheshwari RMO Consider n 2 unit squares in the xy-plane centred at point (i, j) with integer coordinates, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, 1 ≤ j ≤ n. It is required to colour each unit square in such a way that whenever 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n and 1 ≤ k < l ≤ n, the three squares with centres at (i, k),(j, k),(j, l) have distinct colours. What is the least possible number of colours needed? RMO 2017
