What motivates research in Non-Linear Partial Differential Equation? Swarnendu Sil, presently a Ph.D. student in Ecole polytechnique de federale de lausannee (one of the leading universities of the world located in Switzerland), delivered a talk (through video conference) on this topic this Sunday in the reunion of Cheenta. The seminar began with an analysis of […]
1. For how many values of N (positive integer) N(N-101) is a square of a positive integer? Solution: (We will not consider the cases where N = 0 or N = 101) $N(N-101) = m^2$ => $N^2 - 101N - m^2 = 0$ Roots of this quadratic in N is => $\frac{101 \pm\ sqrt { […]

(Hons.) & B.Math. (Hons.) Admission Test: 2013 Multiple-Choice Test Problem 1: Let $i=\sqrt{-1}$ and $S=\{i+i^{2}+\cdots+i^{n}: n \geq 1\}$. The number of distinct real […]
12. In $ (\triangle ABC, AB=AC=28)$ and BC=20. Points D,E, and F are on sides $ (\overline{AB}, \overline{BC})$, and $ (\overline{AC})$, respectively, such that $ (\overline{DE})$ and $ (\overline{EF})$ are parallel to $ (\overline{AC})$ and $ (\overline{AB})$, respectively. What is the perimeter of parallelogram ADEF?$ (\textbf{(A) }48\qquad\textbf{(B) }52\qquad\textbf{(C) }56\qquad\textbf{(D) }60\qquad\textbf{(E) }72\qquad )$ Solution: Perimeter = […]
4. Let N be an integer greater than 1 and let $ (T_n)$ be the number of non empty subsets S of ({1,2,.....,n}) with the property that the average of the elements of S is an integer. Prove that $(T_n - n)$ is always even. Sketch of the Proof: $ (T_n )$ = number of […]
3 Let $ (a,b,c,d \in \mathbb{N})$ such that $ (a \ge b \ge c \ge d)$. Show that the equation $ (x^4 - ax^3 - bx^2 - cx -d = 0)$ has no integer solution. Sketch of the Solution: Claim 1: There cannot be a negative integer solution. Suppose other wise. If possible $x= […]
1. Let $(\Gamma_1)$ and $(\Gamma_2)$ be two circles touching each other externally at R. Let $(O_1)$ and $(O_2)$ be the centres of $(\Gamma_1)$ and $(\Gamma_2)$, respectively. Let $(\ell_1)$ be a line which is tangent to $(\Gamma_2)$ at P and passing through $(O_1)$, and let $(\ell_2)$ be the line tangent to $(\Gamma_1)$ at Q and passing […]
