SMO 2015 Open Round 2

Question 1

In an acute-angled triangle $ABC$, $D$ is the point on $BC$ such that $AD$ bisects $\angle BAC$, $E$ and $F$ are the feet of the perpendiculars from $D$ onto $AB$ and $AC$ respectively. The segments $BF$ and $CE$ intersect at $K$. Prove that $AK$ is perpendicular to $BC$.

Question 2

A boy lives in a small island in which there are three roads at every junction. He starts from his home and walks along the roads. At each junction he would choose to turn to the road on his right or left alternately, i.e., his choices would be $\ldots$, left, right, left, $\ldots$. Prove that he will eventually return to his home.

Question 3

Find all functions $f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$, where $\mathbb R$ is the set of real numbers, such that $$f(x)f(yf(x)-1)=x^2f(y)-f(x)\qquad\text{for all }x,y\in\mathbb R.$$

Question 4

Let $f_0,f_1,\ldots$ be the Fibonacci sequence: $f_0=f_1=1$, $f_n=f_{n-1}+f_{n-2}$ if $n\ge2$. Determine all possible positive integers $n$ so that there is a positive integer $a$ such that $f_n\le a\le f_{n+1}$ and that $$a\left(\frac1{f_1}+\frac1{f_1f_2}+\frac1{f_1f_2f_3}+\cdots+\frac1{f_1f_2\cdots f_n}\right)$$ is an integer.

Question 5

Let $n\ge3$ be a given integer. Find the largest integer $d$ (in terms of $n$) such that for any set $S$ of $n$ integers, there are four distinct (but not necessarily disjoint) nonempty subsets, the sum of the elements of each of which is divisible by $d$.
