Number of rotations

Geometry Level 3

Let f ( x ) f (x) be the relation from N > N-> { 5 , 10 5,10 } equal to 1 0 10^{\circ} when x x is odd and 5 5^{\circ} when x x is even. Here x x denotes x th x^\text{th} rotation of point ( 2 , 5 ) (2,5) and f ( x ) f (x) is angle rotated clockwise by this x th x^\text{th} rotation when rotated about the point ( 8 , 15 ) (8,15) . If after a a rotations, the final point is again ( 2 , 5 ) (2,5) , find the minimum value of a 2 \frac {a}{2} .


The answer is 24.

After every 2 rotations, the point is rotated by 15 degree. So 48 rotations for 360 degree. Answer is 24
