NMTC 2019 Stage II - Kaprekar (Class 7, 8) - Problems and Solutions

Problem 1

Let $a_n$ be the units place of $1^2+2^2+3^2+\ldots+n^2$ . Prove that the decimal $0 . a_1 a_2 a_3 \ldots a_n \ldots$ is a rational number and represent it as $\frac{p}{q}$ , where $p$ and $q$ are natural numbers.

Problem 2

(a) Find the positive integers $m, n$ such that $\frac{1}{m}+\frac{1}{n}=\frac{3}{17}$ .
(b) Find the positive integers $m, n, p$ such that $\frac{1}{m}+\frac{1}{n}+\frac{1}{p}=\frac{3}{17}$ .
(c) Using this idea, prove that we can find for any positive integer $k$ , $k$ distinct integers, $n_1, n_2 \ldots . . n_k$ such that $\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}+\ldots \frac{1}{n_k}=\frac{3}{17}$ .

Problem 3
