Dhaka Divisional Mathematical Olympiad 2010 : Higher Secondary

  1. Assume, $\Phi : A \to A, A=\{0,1,2,\cdots\}$ is a function, which is defined as,
    \[\Phi(x) = \begin{cases}
    0 \quad \text{if } x \text{ is a prime}\\
    \Phi(x - 1) \quad \text{if } x \text{ is not a prime} \end{cases} \]
    Find \[ \sum_{x=0}^{2010} \Phi(x)\]

  3. If $x$ is very very very small $\sin x \approx x$. An operator $S_n$ is defined such that $ S_n(x)= \sin \sin \sin \cdots \sin x$ (a total of $n$ $\sin$ operators are included here). For sufficiently large $n$, $S_n(x) \approx S_{n-1}(x)$. In that case, express $\cos (S_n(x))$ as the nearest rational value.

  9. Out of the digits $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$, three are chosen to form numbers so that their digits are either in increasing or decreasing order. What is the total number of numbers formed? If one number is chosen from each category so that the sum of those two numbers is maximum, what is that sum?

  10. The diagram above shows the various paths along which Mr. Ibrahim Khalilullah Nobi can travel from point Teknaf, where it is released, to point Tetulia, where it is rewarded with a food pellet. How many different paths from Teknaf to Tetulia can Nobi take if it goes directly from Teknaf to Tetulia without retracting any point along a path?
