 xyz= 2^{1}.5^{1} 
Listen if x,y,z are positive : 
then let the power of 2 in x,y,z be respectively a,b,c
so, by the problem: 
a+b+c=1. 
Number of non-negative integral solution 0f this = ^{1+3-1}C_{3-1}=3 
similarly, let the powers of 5 in x,y,z be m,n,o respectively. 
so, no of solution of this = ^{3}C_{2}=3 
so, total number of solutions = 3 \times 3 = 9 
rate if u like it!

This is  an INMO problem :

Now ,

x^{2}+xy+y^{2}=\frac{3}{4}(x+y)^{2} +\frac{1}{4}(x-y)^{2} \geq \frac{3}{4}(x+y)^{2}
similarly for the other 2 brackets.
so, we get :
3(x^{2}+xy+y^{2})(y^{2}+yz+z^{2})(x^{2}+xz+z^{2}) \geq \frac{81}{64}(x+y)^{2}(y+z)^{2}(x+z)^{2}
so, we only have to prove that :
8(x+y+z)(xy+yz+zx) \leq 9(x+y)(y+z)(z+x)
after a bit of modification (Try yourself) this yields :
which is obvious by AM GM.

let

let f(v)=\phi\left(\frac{1}{v}\right)
Putting back in the equation we get :

so,
\int \frac{dv}{f(v)}=\int \frac{dx}{x}
Now if \int \frac{dv}{f(v)} = \frac{1}{v} then we get the required solution!
so,
\phi\left(\frac{1}{v}\right)=f(v)=-v^{2}
so,
\phi\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)=-\frac{y^{2}}{x^{2}}

 19. 
P(x)=a_{0}x^{n}+a_{1}x^{n-1}+....+a_{n} 
We require  to be prime for any integer. 
 
Thus  is a prime. 
But for any integer  : 
P(ka_{n})=a_{0}(ka_{n})^{n}+a_{1}(ka_{n})x^{n-1}+....+a_{n} 
Thus we see that  but this is a contradiction!

so, by ROLLE'S theorem : 
 for some  in  
so, by langranje's theorem : 
\frac{f'(x)-f'(c)}{x-c} =f''(a) for some  in . () for any  in  
Taking Mod on both sides we get : 
 
so, we proove that  for any x in

 The function is not exactly symmetric with respect to p,q.

So, your assumption is not right, there is l;oss of generality.

This Post 0 points    (Olaaa!! Perrrfect answer.   in 0 votes )   [?]

 See , when we generally count 3 digit number we put the restriction that 0 cannot be at the first place, if it is allowed to go to all the places we get the 2 digits and the single digits number aswell.

so, total number of numbers with five at unit place (1digit +2 digit +3digit ) = 10 * 10 = 100

similarly there are 100 each for five at tens place and thousand's place respectively.

So, total number of ways = 100+100+100 = 300

I did 2,3 and 6.Actually my solution to the inequality is similar to bhatt sir's solution though there is a better solution as pointed out by anant sir.I thought i had done the 5th one but there is unfortunately a small flow in my solution.I don't think this is enough to get through in class 12.question 3 is quite easy just on quadratic equations.

2 and 6 has already been solved

 See as two sides are common so we selet the two consecutive sides which are common . 

Number of ways of selecting 2 consecutive sides =  =  

Now, we have to select the fourth point of the quadrilateral. 

Out of  are chosen moreover we cannot choose the  points one immediately left and the other right of the chosen points. 

so, number of choices for the third point =  

So, number of such quadrilaterals =  =

Let the circle be :  

Suppose I want to fold the paper in such a way such that a point on the circle 

 lie on the point  . 

So, the crease will be a line which is the perpendicular bisector af  ,  being the mid - point of  . 

So, X \equiv \left(\frac{x_{0}+Rcos \theta }{2},\frac{y_{0}+Rsin \theta }{2}\right) 

Now it is easy to find the equation of the crease which I am getting as : 

x(Rcos \theta - x_{0}) + y(Rsin \theta - y_{0}) = \frac{R^{2} - a^{2} }{2} 

Moreover we have the condition that :  . 

So, by varying  we can obtain the points . 

I am trying to obtain the conditions on  explicitly.

For this equation to have rational root : 

we must have that : 

 for some integer p which is odd ( it is easy to see it is odd) 

so,  and  for some k and q. 

so, we get that  

but this is a contradiction because  is odd and so  does not divide 

so, assertion is the correct explanation! 

please rate!

 Let  be the acceleration of the incline and  be that of the block relative to the wedge. 

Suppose the normal reaction =  

so, we ghet the equations : 

.........1 

ma_{2} cos \alpha + mg sin \alpha = ma.....2 

N+ma_{2} sin \alpha = mg cos \alpha ....3 

solving this we get : 

a_{2} =  \frac{mg sin \alpha cos \alpha }{M + msin^{2} \alpha} 

a = \frac{gsin \alpha (m+M)}{M+msin^{2}  \alpha } 

now, by equating the time in both the cases we get : 

v_{wedge} = a_{2}\sqrt{\frac{2h}{asin \alpha}} 

So, we get the answer

You may be knowing that : 

1^{3}+2^{3}+.....+2000^{3} = \left( \frac{2000(2000+1)}{2}\right)^{2} 

The R.H.S is a perfect square! 

Form the above we get that : 

k^{3} +(2k)^{3} + ....+(2000k)^{3} = k^{3}\left( \frac{2000(2000+1)}{2}\right)^{2} 

now again : 

k^{2}+(2k)^{2}+........+(2000k)^{2} = \left(k^{2}\frac{1}{6}(2000)(2000+1)(4000+1)\right) 

just choose  and we are done !

 suppose 

case 1 : 

 has the prize . 

Then the host could have opened any of the doors  and  . 

so, 

In this case my probability of winning if I change is 

conditional probability of case 1 = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{1}{2} 

case 2 : 

Now If  does not have the prize. 

Then the host will definitely open door  only if  has the prize. 

conditional probability of case 2 = \frac{\frac{2}{3} * \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{1}{2} 

so, probability of winning if I change = 0 \times  \frac{1}{2} + 1 \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2} 

please correct if wrong ! Pilot

This implies that : arg\left(\frac{z+i}{z-i}\right) = \frac{ \pi}{2} 

This implies that  is purely imaginary. 

so we can conclude that \frac{z+i}{z-i}+\frac{\bar{z}-i}{\bar{z}+i}=0 

from here we get that  

This is a circle of radius one having the origin as its center.
