Question:
1. The polindrom number is a positive integer having properties when we read from the front
and back it same, for example 1234321. The set A is the set of all 13-digit positive numbers.
1
A polindrom number is taken from A and has a probability of 𝑛 . Determine the value
10
of n.
2. 36 students take a mathematics quiz, 25 students can answer the question number 1, 23
students can answer the question number 2, and 3 students can’t answer both of the
question. Determine how many students can answer the question number 1 and 2?
3. Let ABC be a right-angled triangle with ∠𝐴𝐶𝐵 = 90°, and let 𝐴𝐿 be the bisector of angle
𝐵𝐴𝐶, so that 𝐿 is a point on BC. Let 𝑀 be the point on AB such that 𝐿𝑀 is perpendicular
to 𝐴𝐵. If A ', B', C 'is the reflection of the triangle ABC, point B is at coordinates (1,1),
LM = 3 and MB = 4, find the coordinates of point A'B'C’ when reflected against with Y
axis!
4. In a computer game, you have to score the largest possible number of points. You get score
7 points each time you find a jewel and 4 points each time you find a sword. There is no
limit to the number of poinst you can score. Of course it is impossible to score 5 or 6 points.
What is the largest number of points it is impossible to score?
5. The average score of the math test of 43 students was 60. If the score of two students, Raka
and Riki is combined then the average score becomes 59, if Riki’s score is 40, what is
Raka’s score?
6. Determine all primes p such that 5p + 4p4 is a perfect square which the square is an integer
!

Because numbers with 13 digits is impossible start from 0, so, many solutions to arrange
the first number (a) for polyndrom number are 9 solutions. Furder, for b,c,d,e,f and g
because there are no special condition, so, the solutions are 10 solutions. Than, because
f,e,d,c,b,a must be the same with the previous number, so, the solution is 1 solution. Then
, many solutions to arrange polyndrom number with 13 digits are :
9 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1.
Many solutions to arrange the first number are 9 solutions (the same reason). Further, many
solutions for another numbers are 10 solutions. Then, many solutions to arrange numbers
with 13 digits are :
9 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10
9 × 106 × 16
9 × 1012
So, n=6
2. Suppose a + c are students who can answer questions 1. b + c are students who can answer
questions 2. Students who can answer questions 1 and 2 :
a + c = 25, b + c = 23, a + b + c = 36 - 3 = 33
From this, we obtained b = 33 - 25 = 8 and a = 33 – 23 = 10, c = 25 – 10 = 23 – 8 = 15

3. From ΔLMB one finds LB2 = 32 + 42 = 25, so LB = 5, Next, ΔAML ΔACL (AL = AL,
∠MAL = ∠CAL, ∠AML = 90° = ∠ACL), so CL = LM = 3. Now observe that ΔABC ~
𝐵𝐶 𝑀𝐵
ΔLMB (∠ABC = ∠LBM, ∠ACB = ∠LMB), therefore = . This gives
𝐴𝐵 𝐿𝐵
BC.LB 8.5
AB 10 , with triple phytagoras we know AC = 6. Coordinate C point =
MB 4
(1+8,1) = (9,1), coordinate A point (9,1+6) = (9,7). When reflection coordinate B’ = (-1,1),
C’= (-1-8,1) = (-9,1), A’= (-9,1+6) = (-9,7)
4. The answer is 17. By trial and error we find that 17 can’t be expressed as the sum of a
multiple of 7 plus a multiple of 4. However 18 = 2 x 7 + 4, 19= 7 + 3 x 4, 20 = 5 x 4 and
21 = 3 x 7. After this we can get 22 by adding 4 onto 18, 23 by adding 4 onto 19 and so on.
Riki’s score = 40
Total score after merged = Total score of 43 students + Riki’s score + Raka’s score
Raka’s score = 35
6. Let 5p + 4p4 =q2, then 5p = (q – 2p2)(q + 2p2). Thus,
q – 2p2 = 5s, q + 2p2 = 5t where 0 ≤ s ≤ t and s + t = p
Eliminate q, we get 4p2 = 5s(5t-s – 1). If s > 0, then 5 | 4p2. Thus p = 5 and the given
expression is indeed a square. If s = 0 , then t = p and we have 5p = 4p2 + 1. Let p = k, we
shall prove by introduction that 5k > 4k2 + 1 for every integer k ≥ 2. The inequality
certainly holds for k = 2. So we assume that it holds for some k ≥ 2. Note that
4(𝑘 + 1)2 + 1 4𝑘 2 + 1 8𝑘 4
= + + < 1 + 1 + 1 < 5 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑘 ≥ 2
4𝑘 2 + 1 4𝑘 2 + 1 4𝑘 2 + 1 4𝑘 2 + 1
Therefore,
