Group Mathematical Olympiad is conducted by CBSE . It is only for CBSE students . Every CBSE school can send 5 students for it. Around 30 students are selected from the country and are eligible to write INMO.
This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science
related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should
explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments
should further the discussion of math and science.
When posting on Brilliant:
Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Answer to question 3.
4l−36l−1=5k−37k−5
After cross multiplication we get
8k+l+lk=6
Adding 8 to both sides
8k+8+l+lk=148(k+1)+l(1+k)=14(8+l)(1+k)=14
Since l,k are integers therefore the solutions of (l,k)=(−1,1),(−6,6),(6,0),(−7,13),(−15,−3),(−22,−2),(−10,−8),(−9,−15)
Therefore the required fractions are 1,3143,35,2737,913,1319,4361,3955
Answer to question number 2.
P1(m)−P2(n)=a1−a2=m−n2(b2−b1)
This implies that a1−a2=even.
P1(m)−P2(n)=a1+a2=−2(m+n)
This implies that a1+a2=even.
Hence proved.
Answer to question 6.
Let a=m+cb where m is any integer and 0<b<c .
Then a(a−3a)=(m+cb)(m−2cb)m2−cbm+c22b2.
m2−c22b2−bcm
Now, m is an integer . Let's consider c22b2−bcm=k where k is an integer .
After solving we get cb=4m+−m2+8k.....(I)
But cb<1....(II)
Now putting value of cb from (I) to (II).
We get m+k<2
Therefore there are infinitely many integers m,k such that m+k<2.
Hence proved.
@Shivam Jadhav
This ques is a little different from the RMO one , we have to find all values of 'a' between 3 & 4. @Devansh Shah is right , there will be 4 values.

Can anybody please post a proper solution for question 4 with explanation?
Log in to reply
Number of ways of selecting points from points is 28C3=3276
Now, we will eliminate some conditions..
Number of ways of selecting all 3 as adjacent points is 28.
Number of ways of selecting 2 adjacent points and one not adjacent with them is 28×24=672
Number of ways of selecting two points opposite diametrically along with the third point not adjacent to the former points is 14×22=308.
Hence, the desired result will be 3276-28-672-308=2268
1 will be rejected as it isn't a fraction.
Answer to question number 2. P1(m)−P2(n)=a1−a2=m−n2(b2−b1) This implies that a1−a2=even. P1(m)−P2(n)=a1+a2=−2(m+n) This implies that a1+a2=even. Hence proved.

Answer to question 6. Let a=m+cb where m is any integer and 0<b<c . Then a(a−3a)=(m+cb)(m−2cb) m2−cbm+c22b2. m2−c22b2−bcm Now, m is an integer . Let's consider c22b2−bcm=k where k is an integer . After solving we get cb=4m+−m2+8k.....(I) But cb<1....(II) Now putting value of cb from (I) to (II). We get m+k<2 Therefore there are infinitely many integers m,k such that m+k<2. Hence proved.

Bro ur equation which is quadratic in m is wrong also we will get 4 values of a

A general solution a=(2n+1)+0.5 where n is a integer.
@Shivam Jadhav This ques is a little different from the RMO one , we have to find all values of 'a' between 3 & 4. @Devansh Shah is right , there will be 4 values.
m cant be 'any' integer as 3<a<4. So a will be 3.something or a = 3 + b/c
you can try the 6 question posted by me they all are of gmo.
