5(b)
We can set the Earthlings in $n!$ ways if they are in straight line. But considering rotation, there exists a group of $n$ arrangements, that are actually same if we rotate them.
If $n=3$, rearrangements are: $ABC,BCA,CAB,ACB,CBA,BAC$, where the first three are same and so are the last three.
So, actual arrangements=$2$=$\frac{3!}{3}$. We can say:$\frac{n!}{n}$ [Can check for $n=4$]

The rest is same. $m$ Martians can be placed in $n$ places in $n \choose m$ ways. And, the Martians can be arranged in $m!$ ways.

So, the result=$\frac{n!}{n}.m!.{n \choose m}$=$\frac{n.{(n-1)!}^2}{(n-m)!}$

This is actually a well-known problem. There's even a Numberphile video on it:

Mathematical explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIOoCKO-ybQ

The BdMO question also outlines all the steps, so you could try to just solve by doing it like an exercise ;/

Let $CH\perp AB$. $BI$ & $DO$ meet at $E$. Now $BIOD$ cyclic so, $\angle IBD=\angle EOI$. Again, as $\angle ABC$ is bisected by $BI$ so $\angle IBD= \angle IBH$. So,$\angle IBH=\angle EBH=\angle EOH$, so the quadrangle $EDBH$ is cyclic. So $\angle BEO=\angle BHO=90^\circ$

Problem no $6(b)$.
Mension the problem number to easily understand the solution.

Problem 1(a)
Hard solution :o :o :o
$(n-1)×n×(n+1)=(n^2-n)(n+1)$[According to fermat's little theorem given expression is divided by $2$ ]

$(n-1)×n×(n+1)=(n^2-n)(n+1)=n^3-n$[According to fermat's little theorem given expression is divided by $3$ ]

So,$(n-1)×n×(n+1)$ is divided by $2×3$ or $6$. Proved.
