IMO 1967 Problem Set Solutions

1) The document contains 6 problems from an IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad) exam. The problems cover topics like geometry, number theory, sequences, and sports competitions. 2) Problem 1 involves proving a condition for when 4 circles of radius 1 centered at the vertices of a parallelogram fully cover the parallelogram. 3) Problem 2 asks to show that if exactly one side of a tetrahedron is greater than 1, then its volume must be less than or equal to 1/8. 4) The summary provides a high-level overview of the document which is a list of 6 math problems from an IMO exam, briefly describing the topics and goals of the first

IMO QUESTIONS

IMO(9th) 1967
First Day
1. ABCD is a parallelogram; AB a, AD 1, is the size of the DAB , and the three angles of the
triangle ABD are acute. Prove that the four circles K A , K B , K C , K D each of radius 1, whose centers
are the vertices A, B, C and D, cover the parallelogram if and only if a cos 3 sin .
2. Exactly one side of a tetrahedron is of length greater than 1. Show that its volume is less than or
equal to 1/8.
3. Let k, m and n be positive integers such that m k 1 is a prime number greater than n 1 . Write cs
for s( s 1) . Prove that the product (cm 1 ck )(cm 2 ck )........(cm n ck ) is divisible by the product
c1c2 .........cn .
Second Day
4. The triangle A0 B0C0 and AB C have all their angles acute. Describe how to construct one of the
triangle ABC similar to AB C and circumscribing A0 B0C0 (so that A, B, C corresponds to
corresponds to A, B , C and AB passes through C 0 , BC passes through A0 and CA passes through
B0 ). Among these triangles ABC describe, and prove how to construct the triangle with maximum
area.
5. Consider the sequence Cn :
C1 a1 a2 .......... a8 ,
2

C 2 a1 a2 .......... a8 ,
.........................................
n

C n a1 a2 .......... a8

..........................................
Where a1 , a2 ,.........., a8 are real numbers, not all equal to zero. Given that among the numbers of the
sequence Cn there are infinitely many equal to zero, determine all values of n for which C n 0 .
6. In sports competition lasting n days there are m medals to be own. On the first day, one medal and
1/7 of the remaining m 1 medals are own. On the second day, 2 and 1/7 of the remainder are won.
And so on. On the nth day exactly n medals are won. How many days did the competition last and
what was the total number of medals?
