Re: BdMO National 2012: Higher Secondary 02
Number of ways when he doesn't land is 1. Number of ways when he lands once is 11C0. Number of ways when he lands twice is 11C1. Number of ways when he lands thrice is 11C2. Thus for 4,5,.....,11 landings the number of ways would be 11C3, 11C4,......, 11C10 respectively. So, in total the number of w...

Re: BdMO National Higher Secondary 2007/8
Let O be the center of the circle and AL, BM, CN be the 3 chords such that AL=14, BM=\[\sqrt{a}\] and CN=10. Let OD, OE, OF be perpendiculars on AL, BM, CN respectively. Let OD=P, then OE=P+3 and OF=P+6[considering that they are all on the same side of the diameter]. As OD, OE, OF are perpendiculars...

Re: BdMO National Higher Secondary 2007/4
Actually my logic was if a and b r back to back common integers then $(a,b)=1$ and ab can't be a square. Is there any problem in my logic moon vaia? If so, plz give me an example....

Re: BdMO National Higher Secondary 2007/14
Oops!! I missed one solution. In last solution I considered only $a,b>0$....
As $a>b$ and $p^a-p^b=24$, a's value cannot be 0. So, if we consider $b=0$, then we get,
$p^a-1=24$
$p^a=25$
$p^a=5^2$....
So, another value of p is 5....

Re: BdMO National Higher Secondary 2007/14
let's name the eqs $(i)$ and $(ii)$ and do $(i)-(ii)$ than divide three cases 1.$a>b$ 2.$a<b$ 3.$a=b$ Actually it's not necessary as it's clear that $a>b$. $m+12=p^a$....(i) $m-12=p^b$....(ii) So, $p^a-p^b=24$. As $p^a$ and $p^b$ both are multiples of p, we can write $p^a-p^b=kp$ where k is an inte...

$2^2,3^2$ are not back to back integers but n,(n+1) are. Putting square makes difference here....Masum wrote:There is no common factor between $2^2,3^2$ but their product is $6^2$
