Let the position coordinates of A , B , M , N be ( t 2 , 2 t ) , ( u 2 , 2 u ) , ( p 2 , 2 p ) , ( q 2 , 2 q ) respectively. Let the mid point of A B be G ( g , h ) .
Then,
t 2 − 1 2 t = k
⟹ t = k 1 + k 2 + 1 ,
u = k 1 − k 2 + 1
⟹ g = k 2 k 2 + 2 , h = k 2
p 2 − g 2 p − h = − k 1
⟹ p = k k 4 + 3 k 2 + 2 − k 2 ,
q = − k k 4 + 3 k 2 + 2 + k 2
So, ∣ M G ∣ = k 2 ( k 2 + 1 ) ( k 2 + 2 − k 2 + 1 )
∣ G N ∣ = k 2 ( k 2 + 1 ) ( k 2 + 2 + k 2 + 1 )
∣ A G ∣ = k 2 2 ( k 2 + 1 )
Since the points A , M , B , N are concyclic, therefore
∣ M G ∣ × ∣ G N ∣ = ∣ A G ∣ 2
⟹ k 4 4 ( k 2 + 1 ) 2 = k 2 4 ( k 2 + 1 ) 2
⟹ ∣ k ∣ = 1
Therefore the required answer is 1 0 0 0 .
Solution to this problem :
From the given value of a 1 and the recurrance relation, we get a 2 n + 1 = F n + 2 F n + 1 ,
where F n is the n ′ t h Fibonacci number.
From the relation a 2 0 1 0 = a 2 0 1 2 we get a 2 0 1 0 = ϕ − 1 , where ϕ = 2 5 + 1 is the golden ratio .
Using this we see that a 2 n = ϕ − 1 for all positive integers n .
So, a 1 1 = F 7 F 6 = 1 3 8 , a 2 0 = ϕ − 1 = 2 5 − 1 , and
a 2 0 + a 1 1 ≈ 1 . 2 3 3 4 1 8 6
Hence the required answer is 1 2 3 3 .
