1. Three positive real numbers a, b, c are such that $$a^2 + 5b^2 + 4c^2 − 4ab − 4bc = 0$$. Can a, b, c be the lengths of the sides of a triangle? Justify your answer. (RMO 2014, Mumbai Region)
2. The roots of the equation $$x^3 − 3ax^2 + bx + 18c = 0$$ form a non-constant arithmetic progression and the roots of the equation $$x^3 + bx^2 + x − c 3 = 0$$ form a non constant geometric progression. Given that a, b, c are real numbers, find all positive integral values of a and b. (RMO 2014, Mumbai Region)
3. Let a, b, c be positive numbers such that 1 1 + a + 1 1 + b + 1 1 + c ≤ 1. Prove that $$(1 + a^2 )(1 + b^2 )(1 + c^2 ) ≥ 125$$. When does the equality hold? (RMO 2014, Mumbai Region)
4. Let $$P(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + b$$ and $$Q(x) = x^3 + bx + a$$, where a, b are non-zero real numbers. Suppose that the roots of the equation P(x) = 0 are the reciprocals of the roots of the equation Q(x) = 0. Prove that a and b are integers. Find the greatest common divisor of P(2013! + 1) and Q(2013! + 1). (RMO 2013, Mumbai Region)
5. Let a, b, c be positive integers such that a divides $$b^3$$ , b divides $$c^3$$ and c divides $$a^3$$ . Prove that abc divides $$(a + b + c)^{13}$$ . (RMO 2012)
6. Let a and b be positive real numbers such that a + b = 1. Prove that $$a^a b^b + a^b b^a ≤ 1$$. (RMO 2012)
7. Let a and b be real numbers such that a 6= 0. Prove that not all the roots of $$ax^4 + bx^3 + x^2 + x + 1 = 0$$ can be real. (RMO 2012)
