HOMI BHABHA CENTRE FOR SCIENCE EDUCATION ‘TATA INSTITUTE OF FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH Pre-REGIONAL MATHEMATICAL OLYMPIAD, 2012 ‘Mumbai Region October 7, 2012 QUESTION PAPER SET: A n ‘re 20 questions in this question paper. Each question carries § mark. Answer all questions, ‘Time allotted: 2 hours QUESTIONS Rama was esked by her teacher to subtract $ from a certain number end then divide the result by 9. Instead, she subtracted 9 and then divided the result by 3 She got 43 as the ‘answer. What would have been her answer if she had eolved the problems correetly? AA triangle with perimeter 7 has integer side lengths. What ie the meximumm possible area of ‘such a triangle? 1007 ‘The letters R, M, and O represent whole mumbers. If Rx M x O and R+ M xO = 64, what isthe value of R+ M+ 0? 40, Rx O+M = 45 Let Sy =n? + 20n +12, n a poritive intoger. What isthe sum ofall possible values of n for ‘which S;, is « perfect square?
