Re: Books and Websites for primary category preparation
Sadly there aren't much resource for Primary category. You may consider learning some algebra,counting and divisibility. The following links should help 1. AMC 8 problems http://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/AMC_8_Problems_and_Solutions 2. AOPS videos http://artofproblemsolving.com/videos 3...

Prove parallel
Let $ABCD$ be an isosceles trapezium so that $AD\parallel BC$ and $AB=CD$. Let $\omega$ be the incircle of $\triangle BCD$ and $\Gamma$ be any circles that touches $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{AC}$ and intersects $BC$ at $U$ and $V$. Let $DU$ and $DV$ meet $\omega$ at $J$ and $K$ respectively. Pro...

Re: Tangent Circles
$Hints:$ Prove a lemma: $W,W'$ are two circles which are reflections of eachother under $BC$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$. Let $P,Q$ be two lines intersecting $W,W'$ at respectively such that $U,V,W,X$ lies on the same side of $BC$. Then $UVWX$ is cyclic. Then, show that the centres of two resp...

Re: Perpendicular lines through the foot of an altitude
Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$. Applying Cotangent rule in $\triangle AED$, we get \begin{align*} \cot \angle DHE &=\frac{ HD\cdot \cot \angle HAE- AH\cdot \cot \angle HDE}{AD} \\ & = \frac{HD\cdot\frac{AD}{BD}-AH\cdot \cot \angle ODM}{AD}\\ & = \frac{HD}{BD}-\frac{AH\cdot \frac{DM}{OM}}{AD}\\ & = ...

Re: IMO Marathon
Problem $\boxed{49}$ Is it possible to write $\dbinom n 2$ consecutive natural numbers on the edges of $K_n$ such that for every path or cycle of length $3$, if the numbers written on the $3$ edges are $a,b,c$ then $\gcd(a,c)\mid b$ is satisfied? In case of a path, the edge $b$ lies between the edg...

Re: gcd and divisibility
Take $864k$ as a multiple of $864$. Now if $1944$ divides $864k$, we must have $\dfrac{864k}{1944}\in \mathbb{N}$. Which implies $9\mid k$. The probability of happening this is $\dfrac{1}{9}$ when we choose $k$ randomly.
