1. Consider two coplanar circles of radii R and r (R > r) with the same center. Let P be a fixed point on the smaller circle and B a variable point on the larger circle. The line BP meets the larger circle again at C. The perpendicular l to BP at P meets the smaller circle again at A. (If l is tangent to the circle at P then A = P .) (i) Find the set of values of BC 2 + CA2 + AB 2 . (ii) Find the locus of the midpoint of BC. 2. Let n be a positive integer and let A1 , A2 , . . . , A2n+1 be subsets of a set B. Suppose that (a) Each Ai has exactly 2n elements, (b) Each Ai ∩ Aj (1 ≤ i < j ≤ 2n + 1) contains exactly one element, and (c) Every element of B belongs to at least two of the Ai . For which values of n can one assign to every element of B one of the numbers 0 and 1 in such a way that Ai has 0 assigned to exactly n of its elements? 3. A function f is defined on the positive integers by f (1) f (2n) f (4n + 1) f (4n + 3)
= = = =
1, f (3) = 3, f (n), 2f (2n + 1) − f (n), 3f (2n + 1) − 2f (n),
for all positive integers n. Determine the number of positive integers n, less than or equal to 1988, for which f (n) = n.

is a union of disjoint intervals, the sum of whose lengths is 1988. 5. ABC is a triangle right-angled at A, and D is the foot of the altitude from A. The straight line joining the incenters of the triangles ABD, ACD intersects the sides AB, AC at the points K, L respectively. S and T denote the areas of the triangles ABC and AKL respectively. Show that S ≥ 2T . 6. Let a and b be positive integers such that ab + 1 divides a2 + b2 . Show that a2 + b2 ab + 1 is the square of an integer.
