2012 Singapore Junior Math Olympiad

2nd Round

1

Let $O$ be the centre of a parallelogram $ABCD$ and $P$ be any point in the plane. Let $M, N$ be the midpoints of $AP, BP$, respectively and $Q$ be the intersection of $MC$ and $ND$. Prove that $O, P$ and $Q$ are collinear.

2

Does there exist an integer $A$ such that each of the ten digits $0, 1, . . . , 9$ appears exactly once as a digit in exactly one of the numbers $A, A^2, A^ 3$ ?

3

In $\vartriangle ABC$, the external bisectors of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ meet at a point $D$. Prove that the circumcentre of $\vartriangle ABD$ and the points $C, D$ lie on the same straight line.

4

Determine the values of the positive integer $n$ for which the following system of equations has a solution in positive integers $x_1, x_2,...,, x_n$. Find all solutions for each such $n$. $$\begin{cases} x_1 + x_2 +...+ x_n = 16 \\ \\ \dfrac{1}{x_1} + \dfrac{1}{x_2} +...+ \dfrac{1}{x_n} = 1\end{cases}$$

5

Suppose $S = \{a_1, a_2,..., a_{15}\}$ is a set of $1 5$ distinct positive integers chosen from $2 , 3, ... , 2012$ such that every two of them are coprime. Prove that $S$ contains a prime number. (Note: Two positive integers $m, n$ are coprime if their only common factor is 1)
