Q1
A cell phone plan costs \$20 each month, plus 5\cent per text message sent, plus 10\cent for each minute used over 30 hours. In January Michelle sent 100 text messages and talked for 30.5 hours. How much did she have to pay?
一个手机套餐每月费用20美元,加上每条发送的短信5美分,加上超过30小时的部分每分钟10美分。一月份Michelle发送了100条短信,并通话30.5小时。她需要支付多少钱?
Correct Answer: D
The text messages cost \$0.05 \cdot 100 = \$5.00, and the 30 minutes of excess chatting cost \$0.10 \cdot 30 = \$3.00. Therefore the total bill came to \$5 + \$3 + \$20 = \$28.
短信费用为$0.05 \cdot 100 = \$5.00$,超过30分钟的通话费用为$0.10 \cdot 30 = \$3.00$。因此总账单为$\$5 + \$3 + \$20 = \$28$。
Q2
A small bottle of shampoo can hold 35 milliliters of shampoo, whereas a large bottle can hold 500 milliliters of shampoo. Jasmine wants to buy the minimum number of small bottles necessary to completely fill a large bottle. How many bottles must she buy?
一小瓶洗发水能装35毫升洗发水,而一大瓶能装500毫升洗发水。Jasmine想买最少数量的小瓶来完全装满一大瓶。她必须买多少瓶?
Correct Answer: E
Because $14 \cdot 35 = 490 < 500$ and $15 \cdot 35 = 525 \ge 500$, the minimum number of bottles that she needs to buy is 15.
因为$14 \cdot 35 = 490 < 500$且$15 \cdot 35 = 525 \ge 500$,她需要买的最少瓶数是15。
Q3
Suppose $[a\ b]$ denotes the average of $a$ and $b$, and $\{a\ b\ c\}$ denotes the average of $a$, $b$, and $c$. What is $\big\{\{1\ 1\ 0\}\ [0\ 1]\ 0\big\} ?$
设$[a\ b]$表示$a$和$b$的平均值,$\{a\ b\ c\}$表示$a$、$b$和$c$的平均值。求$\big\{\{1\ 1\ 0\}\ [0\ 1]\ 0\big\}$的值?
Correct Answer: D
First note that $\{1\ 1\ 0\} = \frac{2}{3}$ and $[0\ 1] = \frac{1}{2}$. Therefore $\big\{\{1\ 1\ 0\}\ [0\ 1]\ 0\big\} = \{\frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{2}, 0\} = \frac{\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{2} + 0}{3} = \frac{7}{18}$.
首先,$\{1\ 1\ 0\} = \frac{2}{3}$,$[0\ 1] = \frac{1}{2}$。因此$\big\{\{1\ 1\ 0\}\ [0\ 1]\ 0\big\} = \{\frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{2}, 0\} = \frac{\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{2} + 0}{3} = \frac{7}{18}$。
Q4
Let $X$ and $Y$ be the following sums of arithmetic sequences: $X = 10 + 12 + 14 + \cdots + 100$, $Y = 12 + 14 + 16 + \cdots + 102$. What is the value of $Y - X$?
设$X$和$Y$为以下等差数列的和:$X = 10 + 12 + 14 + \cdots + 100$,$Y = 12 + 14 + 16 + \cdots + 102$。$Y - X$的值是多少?
Correct Answer: A
Every term in $X$ except 10 appears in $Y$. Every term in $Y$ except 102 appears in $X$. Therefore $Y - X = 102 - 10 = 92$.
$X$中除了10外的所有项都出现在$Y$中。$Y$中除了102外的所有项都出现在$X$中。因此$Y - X = 102 - 10 = 92$。
Q5
At an elementary school, the students in third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade run an average of 12, 15, and 10 minutes per day, respectively. There are twice as many third graders as fourth graders, and twice as many fourth graders as fifth graders. What is the average number of minutes run per day by these students?
在一所小学,三、四年级和五年级学生的平均每天跑步时间分别为12、15和10分钟。三四年级学生人数是四年级学生的两倍,四年级学生人数是五年级学生的两倍。这些学生的平均每天跑步分钟数是多少?
Correct Answer: C
Let $N$ equal the number of fifth graders. Then there are $2N$ fourth graders and $4N$ third graders. The total number of minutes run per day by the students is $4N \cdot 12 + 2N \cdot 15 + N \cdot 10 = 88N$. There are a total of $4N + 2N + N = 7N$ students, so the average number of minutes run by the students per day is $\frac{88N}{7N} = \frac{88}{7}$.
设五年级学生数为$N$,则四年级学生为$2N$,三年级学生为$4N$。学生每天总跑步时间为$4N \cdot 12 + 2N \cdot 15 + N \cdot 10 = 88N$。总学生数为$4N + 2N + N = 7N$,因此平均值为$\frac{88N}{7N} = \frac{88}{7}$。
Q6
Set $A$ has 20 elements, and set $B$ has 15 elements. What is the smallest possible number of elements in $A \cup B$, the union of $A$ and $B$?
集合$A$有20个元素,集合$B$有15个元素。$A\cup B$($A$和$B$的并集)的最小可能元素个数是多少?
Correct Answer: C
The union must contain all of the elements of $A$, so it has at least 20 elements. It is possible that $B$ is a subset of $A$, in which case there are no additional elements.
并集必须包含$A$的所有元素,因此至少有20个元素。$B$是$A$的子集是可能的,这种情况下没有额外的元素。
Q7
Which of the following equations does not have a solution?
下列哪个方程没有解?
Correct Answer: B
Because $|−3x|+5$ is strictly positive, the equation $|−3x|+5 = 0$ has no solution. The solutions of equations (A), (C), (D), and (E) are −7, −4, 64, and $\pm \frac{4}{3}$, respectively.
因为$|−3x|+5$严格大于0,方程$|−3x|+5 = 0$没有解。方程(A)、(C)、(D)和(E)的解分别是$-7$、$-4/3$、64和$\pm \frac{4}{3}$。
Q8
Last summer 30% of the birds living on Town Lake were geese, 25% were swans, 10% were herons, and 35% were ducks. What percent of the birds that were not swans were geese?
去年夏天,镇湖上35%的鸟是鹅,25%是天鹅,10%是鹭鸶,35%是鸭子。非天鹅的鸟中,有多少百分比是鹅?
Correct Answer: C
Because 75% of the birds were not swans and 30% of the birds were geese, it follows that $\frac{30}{75} \cdot 100\% = 40\%$ of the birds that were not swans were geese.
因为75%的鸟不是天鹅,30%的鸟是鹅,因此$\frac{30}{75} \cdot 100\% = 40\%$的非天鹅鸟是鹅。
Q9
A rectangular region is bounded by the graphs of the equations $y = a$, $y = −b$, $x = −c$, and $x = d$, where $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$ are all positive numbers. Which of the following represents the area of this region?
一个矩形区域被方程$y = a$、$y = −b$、$x = −c$和$x = d$的图像所包围,其中$a$、$b$、$c$和$d$均为正数。以下哪项表示该区域的面积?
Correct Answer: A
Because $a, b, c,$ and $d$ are positive numbers, $a > −b$ and $d > −c$. Therefore the height of the rectangle is $a + b$ and the width is $c + d$. The area of the region is $(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd$.
因为$a, b, c,$ 和 $d$ 是正数,$a > −b$ 且 $d > −c$。因此矩形的高度是$a + b$,宽度是$c + d$。该区域的面积是$(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd$。

Q10
A majority of the 30 students in Ms. Demeanor’s class bought pencils at the school bookstore. Each of these students bought the same number of pencils, and this number was greater than 1. The cost of a pencil in cents was greater than the number of pencils each student bought, and the total cost of all the pencils was \$17.71. What was the cost of a pencil in cents?
Demeanor女士班上有30名学生,大多数学生在学校书店买了铅笔。这些学生每人都买了相同数量的铅笔,且这个数量大于1。铅笔的单价(以美分计)大于每个学生买的铅笔数量,所有铅笔的总价是\$17.71。铅笔的单价(以美分计)是多少?
Correct Answer: B
Let $C$ be the cost of a pencil in cents, $N$ be the number of pencils each student bought, and $S$ be the number of students who bought pencils. Then $C \cdot N \cdot S = 1771 = 7 \cdot 11 \cdot 23$, and $C > N > 1$. Because a majority of the students bought pencils, $30 \ge S > \frac{30}{2} = 15$. Therefore $S = 23$, $N = 7$, and $C = 11$.
设$C$为铅笔单价(美分),$N$为每个学生买的铅笔数,$S$为买铅笔的学生数。那么$C \cdot N \cdot S = 1771 = 7 \cdot 11 \cdot 23$,且$C > N > 1$。因为大多数学生买了铅笔,$30 \ge S > \frac{30}{2} = 15$。因此$S = 23$,$N = 7$,$C = 11$。
Q11
Square $EFGH$ has one vertex on each side of square $ABCD$. Point $E$ is on $AB$ with $AE = 7 \cdot EB$. What is the ratio of the area of $EFGH$ to the area of $ABCD$?
正方形 $EFGH$ 的每个顶点分别位于正方形 $ABCD$ 的一条边上。点 $E$ 在 $AB$ 上,且 $AE = 7 \cdot EB$。$EFGH$ 与 $ABCD$ 的面积比是多少?
Correct Answer: B
Without loss of generality, assume that $F$ lies on $BC$ and that $EB = 1$. Then $AE = 7$ and $AB = 8$. Because $EFGH$ is a square, $BF = AE = 7$, so the hypotenuse $EF$ of $\triangle EBF$ has length $\sqrt{1^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{50}$. The ratio of the area of $EFGH$ to that of $ABCD$ is therefore $\frac{EF^2}{AB^2} = \frac{50}{64} = \frac{25}{32}$.
不失一般性,假设 $F$ 在 $BC$ 上,且 $EB = 1$。则 $AE = 7$,$AB = 8$。因为 $EFGH$ 是正方形,$BF = AE = 7$,所以 $\triangle EBF$ 的斜边 $EF$ 的长度为 $\sqrt{1^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{50}$。因此 $EFGH$ 与 $ABCD$ 的面积比为 $\frac{EF^2}{AB^2} = \frac{50}{64} = \frac{25}{32}$。

Q12
The players on a basketball team made some three-point shots, some two-point shots, and some one-point free throws. They scored as many points with two-point shots as with three-point shots. Their number of successful free throws was one more than their number of successful two-point shots. The team’s total score was 61 points. How many free throws did they make?
一个篮球队的球员投中了一些三分球、两分球和一分为罚球。他们用两分球所得的分数与三分球相同。成功罚球数比成功两分球数多一个。全队总得分61分。他们投中了多少个罚球?
Correct Answer: A
Answer (A): Let $x$, $y$, and $z$ be the number of successful three-point shots, two-point shots, and free throws, respectively. Then the given conditions imply $$ 3x+2y+z=61, $$ $$ 2y=3x, $$ and $$ y+1=z. $$ Solving results in $x=8$, $y=12$, and $z=13$. Hence the team made 13 free throws.
答案(A):设 $x$、$y$、$z$ 分别为命中的三分球、两分球和罚球的次数。则题目条件推出 $$ 3x+2y+z=61, $$ $$ 2y=3x, $$ 以及 $$ y+1=z. $$ 解得 $x=8$、$y=12$、$z=13$。因此该队罚中了 13 次。
Q13
How many even integers are there between 200 and 700 whose digits are all different and come from the set $\{1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9\}$?
在200与700之间,有多少个偶数,其所有数位均不同且来自集合 $\{1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9\}$?
Correct Answer: A
Because the numbers are even, they must end in either 2 or 8. If the last digit is 2, the first digit must be 5 and thus there are four choices remaining for the middle digit. If the last digit is 8, then there are two choices for the first digit, either 2 or 5, and for each choice there are four possibilities for the middle digit. The total number of choices is then $4 + 2 \cdot 4 = 12$.
因为这些数是偶数,末位必须是2或8。若末位是2,则首位必须是5,中间位有4种选择。若末位是8,则首位有2种选择(2或5),每种情况下中间位有4种可能。总选择数为 $4 + 2 \cdot 4 = 12$。
Q14
A pair of standard 6-sided fair dice is rolled once. The sum of the numbers rolled determines the diameter of a circle. What is the probability that the numerical value of the area of the circle is less than the numerical value of the circle’s circumference?
掷一对标准的6面骰子一次。所掷数字之和决定圆的直径。圆的面积的数值小于圆的周长的数值的概率是多少?
Correct Answer: B
Let $d$ be the sum of the numbers rolled. The conditions are satisfied if and only if $\pi (\frac{d}{2})^2 < \pi d$, that is, $d < 4$. Of the 36 equally likely outcomes for the roll of the two dice, one has a sum of 2 and two have sums of 3. Thus the desired probability is $\frac{1+2}{36} = \frac{1}{12}$.
设 $d$ 为掷得数字之和。条件等价于 $\pi (\frac{d}{2})^2 < \pi d$,即 $d < 4$。两骰子36种等可能结果中,和为2的一种,和为3的有两种。故概率为 $\frac{1+2}{36} = \frac{1}{12}$。
Q15
Roy bought a new battery-gasoline hybrid car. On a trip the car ran exclusively on its battery for the first 40 miles, then ran exclusively on gasoline for the rest of the trip, using gasoline at a rate of 0.02 gallons per mile. On the whole trip he averaged 55 miles per gallon. How long was the trip in miles?
Roy买了一辆新的电池-汽油混合动力车。在一次旅行中,该车前40英里完全用电池行驶,其余路程完全用汽油,汽油消耗率为每英里0.02加仑。整个行程平均55英里每加仑。行程总长多少英里?
Correct Answer: C
Answer (C): Let $x$ be the number of miles driven exclusively on gasoline. Then the total number of miles traveled is $x+40$, and the amount of gas used is $0.02x$ gallons. Therefore the average number of miles per gallon is $$ \frac{x+40}{0.02x}=55. $$ Solving results in $x=400$, so the total number of miles traveled is $440$.
答案(C):设 $x$ 为完全使用汽油行驶的英里数。则总行驶英里数为 $x+40$,使用的汽油量为 $0.02x$ 加仑。因此,每加仑的平均行驶英里数为 $$ \frac{x+40}{0.02x}=55。 $$ 解得 $x=400$,所以总行驶英里数为 $440$。
Q16
Which of the following is equal to $\sqrt{9 -6\sqrt{2}} + \sqrt{9 + 6\sqrt{2}}$?
以下哪一项等于 $\sqrt{9 -6\sqrt{2}} + \sqrt{9 + 6\sqrt{2}}$?
Correct Answer: B
Answer (B): Let $k=\sqrt{9-6\sqrt{2}}+\sqrt{9+6\sqrt{2}}$. Squaring both sides and simplifying results in $k^2=9-6\sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{(9-6\sqrt{2})(9+6\sqrt{2})}+9+6\sqrt{2}$ $=18+2\sqrt{81-72}$ $=18+2\sqrt{9}$ $=24$ Because $k>0$, $k=2\sqrt{6}$.
答案(B):设 $k=\sqrt{9-6\sqrt{2}}+\sqrt{9+6\sqrt{2}}$。两边平方并化简得到 $k^2=9-6\sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{(9-6\sqrt{2})(9+6\sqrt{2})}+9+6\sqrt{2}$ $=18+2\sqrt{81-72}$ $=18+2\sqrt{9}$ $=24$ 因为 $k>0$,所以 $k=2\sqrt{6}$。
Q17
In the eight-term sequence $A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H$, the value of $C$ is 5 and the sum of any three consecutive terms is 30. What is $A + H$?
在一个八项数列 $A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H$ 中,$C$ 的值为 5,且任意三个连续项的和为 30。求 $A + H$?
Correct Answer: C
Answer (C): Note that for any four consecutive terms, the first and last terms must be equal. For example, consider $B, C, D,$ and $E$; because $$B + C + D = 30 = C + D + E,$$ we must have $B = E$. Hence $A = D = G$, and $C = F = 5$. The required sum $A + H = G + (30 - G - F) = 30 - 5 = 25$. OR Note that $$\begin{array}{rcl} A + C + H &=& (A + B + C) - (B + C + D) + (C + D + E) \\ && - (E + F + G) + (F + G + H) \\ &=& 3\cdot 30 - 2\cdot 30 = 30. \end{array}$$ Hence $A + H = 30 - C = 25$.
答案(C):注意任意四个连续项中,第一项和最后一项必须相等。比如考虑 $B, C, D, E$;因为 $$B + C + D = 30 = C + D + E,$$ 所以必须有 $B = E$。因此 $A = D = G$,且 $C = F = 5$。所求和为 $A + H = G + (30 - G - F) = 30 - 5 = 25$。 或者 注意 $$\begin{array}{rcl} A + C + H &=& (A + B + C) - (B + C + D) + (C + D + E) \\ && - (E + F + G) + (F + G + H) \\ &=& 3\cdot 30 - 2\cdot 30 = 30. \end{array}$$ 因此 $A + H = 30 - C = 25$。
Q18
Circles $A$, $B$, and $C$ each have radius 1. Circles $A$ and $B$ share one point of tangency. Circle $C$ has a point of tangency with the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$. What is the area inside circle $C$ but outside circle $A$ and circle $B$?
圆 $A$、$B$ 和 $C$ 半径均为 1。圆 $A$ 和 $B$ 有一个公共切点。圆 $C$ 与 $\overline{AB}$ 的中点有切点。求圆 $C$ 内但在圆 $A$ 和圆 $B$ 外的面积?
stem
Correct Answer: C
Answer (C): Let $D$ be the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$, and let circle $C$ intersect circles $A$ and $B$ at $E$ and $F$, respectively, distinct from $D$. The shaded portion of unit square $ADCE$ has area $1-\frac{\pi}{4}$, as does the shaded portion of unit square $BDCF$. The portion of the shaded region which is outside these squares is a semicircle of radius $1$ and has area $\frac{\pi}{2}$. The total shaded area is $2\left(1-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+\frac{\pi}{2}=2$. OR Let $D, E,$ and $F$ be defined as in the first solution, and let $G$ be diametrically opposite $D$ on circle $C$. The shaded area is equal to the area of square $DFGE$, which has diagonal length $2$. Its side length is $\sqrt{2}$, and its area is $(\sqrt{2})^2=2$.
答案(C):设$D$为$\overline{AB}$的中点,并令圆$C$分别与圆$A$和圆$B$相交于$E$与$F$,且$E,F$均不同于$D$。单位正方形$ADCE$的阴影部分面积为$1-\frac{\pi}{4}$,单位正方形$BDCF$的阴影部分面积也为$1-\frac{\pi}{4}$。阴影区域中位于这两个正方形之外的部分是半径为$1$的半圆,面积为$\frac{\pi}{2}$。因此阴影总面积为$2\left(1-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+\frac{\pi}{2}=2$。 或者 令$D,E,F$与第一种解法中的定义相同,并令$G$为圆$C$上与$D$直径相对的点。阴影面积等于正方形$DFGE$的面积,该正方形的对角线长为$2$,边长为$\sqrt{2}$,其面积为$(\sqrt{2})^2=2$。

Q19
In 1991 the population of a town was a perfect square. Ten years later, after an increase of 150 people, the population was 9 more than a perfect square. Now, in 2011, with an increase of another 150 people, the population is once again a perfect square. Which of the following is closest to the percent growth of the town’s population during this twenty-year period?
1991 年一个城镇的人口是一个完全平方数。十年后,人口增加 150 人后,比一个完全平方数多 9 人。现在,2011 年,又增加 150 人,人口再次成为一个完全平方数。以下哪一项最接近城镇在这二十年期间的人口百分比增长?
Correct Answer: E
Answer (E): Let \(p^2\), \(q^2+9\), and \(r^2=p^2+300\) be the populations of the town in 1991, 2001, and 2011, respectively. Then \(q^2+9=p^2+150\), so \(q^2-p^2=141\). Therefore \((q-p)(q+p)=141\), and so either \(q-p=3\) and \(q+p=47\), or \(q-p=1\) and \(q+p=141\). These give \(p=22\) or \(p=70\). Note that if \(p=70\), then \(70^2+300=5200=52\cdot 10^2\), which is not a perfect square. Thus \(p=22\), \(p^2=484\), \(p^2+150=634=25^2+9\), and \(p^2+300=784=28^2\). The percent growth from 1991 to 2011 was \(\frac{784-484}{484}\approx 62\%\).
答案(E):设 \(p^2\)、\(q^2+9\)、以及 \(r^2=p^2+300\) 分别为该城镇在 1991、2001 和 2011 年的人口。则 \(q^2+9=p^2+150\),所以 \(q^2-p^2=141\)。因此 \((q-p)(q+p)=141\),所以要么 \(q-p=3\) 且 \(q+p=47\),要么 \(q-p=1\) 且 \(q+p=141\)。由此得到 \(p=22\) 或 \(p=70\)。注意若 \(p=70\),则 \(70^2+300=5200=52\cdot 10^2\),这不是完全平方数。因此 \(p=22\),\(p^2=484\),\(p^2+150=634=25^2+9\),且 \(p^2+300=784=28^2\)。从 1991 到 2011 的百分比增长为 \(\frac{784-484}{484}\approx 62\%\)。
Q20
Two points on the circumference of a circle of radius $r$ are selected independently and at random. From each point a chord of length $r$ is drawn in a clockwise direction. What is the probability that the two chords intersect?
在一个半径为 $r$ 的圆周上独立随机选取两点。从每点沿顺时针方向画一条长度为 $r$ 的弦。两条弦相交的概率是多少?
Correct Answer: D
Answer (D): Let point $A$ be the first point chosen, and let point $B$ be the opposite endpoint of the corresponding chord. Drawing a radius to each endpoint of this chord of length $r$ results in an equilateral triangle. Hence a chord of length $r$ subtends an arc $\frac{1}{6}$ the circumference of the circle. Let diameter $FC$ be parallel to $AB$, and divide the circle into six equal portions as shown. The second point chosen will result in a chord that intersects $AB$ if and only if the point is chosen from minor $\widehat{FB}$. Hence the probability is $\frac{1}{3}$.
答案(D):设点 $A$ 为第一个选取的点,点 $B$ 为对应弦的另一个端点(对端点)。向这条长度为 $r$ 的弦的两个端点分别作半径,可得到一个等边三角形。因此,长度为 $r$ 的弦所对的弧长是圆周的 $\frac{1}{6}$。令直径 $FC$ 与 $AB$ 平行,并如图将圆分成六个相等部分。第二个选取的点所确定的弦与 $AB$ 相交当且仅当该点取自小弧 $\widehat{FB}$。因此概率为 $\frac{1}{3}$。

Q21
Two counterfeit coins of equal weight are mixed with 8 identical genuine coins. The weight of each of the counterfeit coins is different from the weight of each of the genuine coins. A pair of coins is selected at random without replacement from the 10 coins. A second pair is selected at random without replacement from the remaining 8 coins. The combined weight of the first pair is equal to the combined weight of the second pair. What is the probability that all 4 selected coins are genuine?
有两个重量相等的假币与8个相同的真币混合在一起。每个假币的重量与每个真币的重量不同。从这10枚硬币中随机不放回地选出一对硬币。从剩余的8枚硬币中随机不放回地选出第二对硬币。第一对硬币的总重量等于第二对硬币的总重量。4枚选出的硬币全为真币的概率是多少?
Correct Answer: D
Answer (D): The weights of the two pairs of coins are equal if each pair contains the same number of counterfeit coins. Therefore either the first pair and the second pair both contain only genuine coins, or the first pair and the second pair both contain one counterfeit coin. The number of ways to choose the coins in the first case is $\binom{8}{2}\cdot\binom{6}{2}=420$. The number of ways to choose the coins in the second case is $8\cdot2\cdot7\cdot1=112$. Therefore the requested probability is $\frac{420}{112+420}=\frac{15}{19}$.
答案(D):当每一对硬币中假币的数量相同的时候,两对硬币的重量相等。因此,要么第一对和第二对都只包含真币,要么第一对和第二对都各包含一枚假币。第一种情况选硬币的方法数为 $\binom{8}{2}\cdot\binom{6}{2}=420$。第二种情况选硬币的方法数为 $8\cdot2\cdot7\cdot1=112$。因此所求概率为 $\frac{420}{112+420}=\frac{15}{19}$。
Q22
Each vertex of convex pentagon $ABCDE$ is to be assigned a color. There are 6 colors to choose from, and the ends of each diagonal must have different colors. How many different colorings are possible?
凸五边形 $ABCDE$ 的每个顶点都要涂上颜色。有6种颜色可供选择,且每条对角线的两端必须涂不同颜色。可能的不同着色方案有多少种?
Correct Answer: C
Answer (C): If five distinct colors are used, then there are $\binom{6}{5}=6$ different color choices possible. They may be arranged in $5!=120$ ways on the pentagon, resulting in $120\cdot 6=720$ colorings. If four distinct colors are used, then there is one duplicated color, so there are $\binom{6}{4}\binom{4}{1}=60$ different color choices possible. The duplicated color must appear on neighboring vertices. There are $5$ neighbor choices and $3!=6$ ways to color the remaining three vertices, resulting in a total of $60\cdot 5\cdot 6=1800$ colorings. If three distinct colors are used, then there must be two duplicated colors, so there are $\binom{6}{3}\binom{3}{2}=60$ different color choices possible. The non-duplicated color may appear in $5$ locations. As before, a duplicated color must appear on neighboring vertices, so there are $2$ ways left to color the remaining vertices. In this case there are $60\cdot 5\cdot 2=600$ colorings possible. There are no colorings with two or fewer colors. The total number of colorings is $720+1800+600=3120$.
答案(C):如果使用五种不同的颜色,则有 $\binom{6}{5}=6$ 种不同的选色方式。它们可以在五边形上以 $5!=120$ 种方式排列,因此共有 $120\cdot 6=720$ 种着色。 如果使用四种不同的颜色,则会有一种颜色重复,因此有 $\binom{6}{4}\binom{4}{1}=60$ 种不同的选色方式。重复的颜色必须出现在相邻的顶点上。相邻顶点的选择有 $5$ 种,剩下三个顶点的着色有 $3!=6$ 种方式,因此总共有 $60\cdot 5\cdot 6=1800$ 种着色。 如果使用三种不同的颜色,则必须有两种颜色重复,因此有 $\binom{6}{3}\binom{3}{2}=60$ 种不同的选色方式。不重复的那种颜色可以放在 $5$ 个位置中的任意一个。和之前一样,重复颜色必须出现在相邻顶点上,因此剩余顶点的着色还有 $2$ 种方式。在这种情况下共有 $60\cdot 5\cdot 2=600$ 种着色。 不存在只用两种或更少颜色的着色。着色总数为 $720+1800+600=3120$。
Q23
Seven students count from 1 to 1000 as follows: [description of skipping middles in groups of 3 iteratively]. What number does George say?
七个学生按以下方式从1数到1000: [每3个数跳过中间的一个,迭代进行]。乔治说的是什么数字?
Correct Answer: C
Answer (C): After each person counts, the numbers left for the next person form an arithmetic progression. For example, Alice leaves all of the numbers $2, 5, 8, 11, 14, \ldots, 2 + 3\cdot 332$ for Barbara. If a student leaves the progression $a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, \ldots$, then the next student leaves the progression $a + d, (a + d) + 3d, (a + d) + 6d, \ldots$. This implies that in the following table, each number in the third column is three times the previous entry in the third column, and each entry in the second column is the sum of the two entries in the row above: \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Left for} & \text{First Term} & \text{Common Difference} \\ \hline \text{Alice} & 1 & 1 \\ \text{Barbara} & 2 & 3 \\ \text{Candice} & 5 & 9 \\ \text{Debbie} & 14 & 27 \\ \text{Eliza} & 41 & 81 \\ \text{Fatima} & 122 & 243 \\ \text{George} & 365 & 729 \\ \hline \end{array} \] George is left with the single term $365$.
答案(C):每个人数完之后,留给下一个人的数字构成一个等差数列。例如,Alice 给 Barbara 留下所有这些数:$2, 5, 8, 11, 14, \ldots, 2 + 3\cdot 332$。如果某个学生留下的等差数列为 $a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, \ldots$,那么下一个学生留下的等差数列为 $a + d, (a + d) + 3d, (a + d) + 6d, \ldots$。 这意味着在下表中,第三列的每个数都是第三列上一行对应数的 3 倍,而第二列的每一项都是其上一行中第二列与第三列两项之和: \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline \text{留给} & \text{首项} & \text{公差} \\ \hline \text{Alice} & 1 & 1 \\ \text{Barbara} & 2 & 3 \\ \text{Candice} & 5 & 9 \\ \text{Debbie} & 14 & 27 \\ \text{Eliza} & 41 & 81 \\ \text{Fatima} & 122 & 243 \\ \text{George} & 365 & 729 \\ \hline \end{array} \] George 最后只剩下单独的一项 $365$。
Q24
Two distinct regular tetrahedra have all their vertices among the vertices of the same unit cube. What is the volume of the region formed by the intersection of the tetrahedra?
有两个不同的正四面体,它们的所有顶点都在同一个单位立方体的顶点上。这两个四面体的交集区域的体积是多少?
Correct Answer: D
Answer (D): Let the tetrahedra be \(T_1\) and \(T_2\), and let \(R\) be their intersection. Let squares \(ABCD\) and \(EFGH\), respectively, be the top and bottom faces of the unit cube, with \(E\) directly under \(A\) and \(F\) directly under \(B\). Without loss of generality, \(T_1\) has vertices \(A, C, F,\) and \(H\) and \(T_2\) has vertices \(B, D, E,\) and \(G\). One face of \(T_1\) is \(\triangle ACH\), which intersects edges of \(T_2\) at the midpoints \(J, K,\) and \(L\) of \(AC, CH,\) and \(HA\), respectively. Let \(S\) be the tetrahedron with vertices \(J, K, L,\) and \(D\). Then \(S\) is similar to \(T_2\) and is contained in \(T_2\), but not in \(R\). The other three faces of \(T_1\) each cut off from \(T_2\) a tetrahedron congruent to \(S\). Therefore the volume of \(R\) is equal to the volume of \(T_2\) minus four times the volume of \(S\). A regular tetrahedron of edge length \(s\) has base area \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^2\) and altitude \(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}s\), so its volume is \[ \frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^2\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}s\right)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{12}s^3. \] Because the edges of tetrahedron \(T_2\) are face diagonals of the cube, \(T_2\) has edge length \(\sqrt{2}\). Because \(J\) and \(K\) are centers of adjacent faces of the cube, tetrahedron \(S\) has edge length \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\). Thus the volume of \(R\) is \[ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{12}\left((\sqrt{2})^3-4\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)^3\right)=\frac{1}{6}. \]
答案(D):设两个四面体为 \(T_1\) 与 \(T_2\),它们的交集为 \(R\)。设正方形 \(ABCD\) 与 \(EFGH\) 分别为单位立方体的上、下底面,其中 \(E\) 在 \(A\) 的正下方,\(F\) 在 \(B\) 的正下方。不失一般性,\(T_1\) 的顶点为 \(A, C, F, H\),\(T_2\) 的顶点为 \(B, D, E, G\)。\(T_1\) 的一个面是 \(\triangle ACH\),它与 \(T_2\) 的棱分别在 \(AC, CH, HA\) 的中点 \(J, K, L\) 处相交。设四面体 \(S\) 的顶点为 \(J, K, L, D\)。则 \(S\) 与 \(T_2\) 相似,且包含于 \(T_2\) 中,但不在 \(R\) 中。\(T_1\) 的其余三个面也都会从 \(T_2\) 中切去一个与 \(S\) 全等的四面体。因此,\(R\) 的体积等于 \(T_2\) 的体积减去 \(4\) 倍的 \(S\) 的体积。 边长为 \(s\) 的正四面体底面积为 \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^2\),高为 \(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}s\),因此其体积为 \[ \frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^2\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}s\right)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{12}s^3. \] 由于四面体 \(T_2\) 的棱是立方体的面对角线,所以 \(T_2\) 的棱长为 \(\sqrt{2}\)。又因为 \(J\) 与 \(K\) 是立方体相邻两个面的中心,所以四面体 \(S\) 的棱长为 \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\)。因此 \(R\) 的体积为 \[ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{12}\left((\sqrt{2})^3-4\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)^3\right)=\frac{1}{6}. \]

Q25
Let $R$ be a square region and $n \ge4$ an integer. A point $X$ in the interior of $R$ is called n-ray partitional if there are n rays emanating from $X$ that divide $R$ into n triangles of equal area. How many points are 100-ray partitional but not 60-ray partitional?
设 $R$ 是一个正方形区域,$n \ge4$ 是一个整数。$R$ 内部的点 $X$ 称为 n-射线分割点,如果从 $X$ 发出 n 条射线,将 $R$ 分成 n 个面积相等的三角形。有多少点是 100-射线分割点但不是 60-射线分割点?
Correct Answer: C
Answer (C): Assume without loss of generality that $R$ is bounded by the square with vertices $A=(0,0)$, $B=(1,0)$, $C=(1,1)$, and $D=(0,1)$, and let $X=(x,y)$ be $n$-ray partitional. Because the $n$ rays partition $R$ into triangles, they must include the rays from $X$ to $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$. Let the number of rays intersecting the interiors of $\overline{AB}$, $\overline{BC}$, $\overline{CD}$, and $\overline{DA}$ be $n_1,n_2,n_3,$ and $n_4$, respectively. Because $\triangle ABX\cup\triangle CDX$ has the same area as $\triangle BCX\cup\triangle DAX$, it follows that $n_1+n_3=n_2+n_4=\frac{n}{2}-2$, so $n$ is even. Furthermore, the $n_1+1$ triangles with one side on $\overline{AB}$ have equal area, so each has area $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{n_1+1}\cdot y$. Similarly, the triangles with sides on $\overline{BC}$, $\overline{CD}$, and $\overline{DA}$ have areas $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{n_2+1}\cdot(1-x)$, $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{n_3+1}\cdot(1-y)$, and $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{n_4+1}\cdot x$, respectively. Setting these expressions equal to each other gives \[ x=\frac{n_4+1}{n_2+n_4+2}=\frac{2(n_4+1)}{n} \quad\text{and}\quad y=\frac{n_1+1}{n_1+n_3+2}=\frac{2(n_1+1)}{n}. \] Thus an $n$-ray partitional point must have the form $X=\left(\frac{2a}{n},\frac{2b}{n}\right)$ with $1\le a<\frac{n}{2}$ and $1\le b<\frac{n}{2}$. Conversely, if $X$ has this form, $R$ is partitioned into $n$ triangles of equal area by the rays from $X$ that partition $\overline{AB},\overline{BC},\overline{CD},$ and $\overline{DA}$ into $b,$ $\frac{n}{2}-a,$ $\frac{n}{2}-b,$ and $a$ congruent segments, respectively. Assume $X$ is 100-ray partitional. If $X$ is also 60-ray partitional, then $X=\left(\frac{a}{50},\frac{b}{50}\right)=\left(\frac{c}{30},\frac{d}{30}\right)$ for some integers $1\le a,b\le 49$ and $1\le c,d\le 29$. Thus $30a=50c$ and $30b=50d$; that is, both $a$ and $b$ are multiples of 5. Conversely, if $a$ and $b$ are multiples of 5, then \[ X=\left(\frac{a}{50},\frac{b}{50}\right)=\left(\frac{3a/5}{30},\frac{3b/5}{30}\right) \] is 60-ray partitional. Because there are exactly 9 multiples of 5 between 1 and 49, the required number of points $X$ is equal to $49^2-9^2=40\cdot 58=2320$.
答案(C):不失一般性,设 $R$ 为以 $A=(0,0)$、$B=(1,0)$、$C=(1,1)$、$D=(0,1)$ 为顶点的正方形区域,令 $X=(x,y)$ 为 $n$ 射线可分点。由于这 $n$ 条射线把 $R$ 分成若干三角形,它们必然包含从 $X$ 指向 $A,B,C,D$ 的射线。设与 $\overline{AB}$、$\overline{BC}$、$\overline{CD}$、$\overline{DA}$ 内部相交的射线条数分别为 $n_1,n_2,n_3,n_4$。因为 $\triangle ABX\cup\triangle CDX$ 的面积与 $\triangle BCX\cup\triangle DAX$ 的面积相同,可得 \[ n_1+n_3=n_2+n_4=\frac{n}{2}-2, \] 因此 $n$ 为偶数。又因为在 $\overline{AB}$ 上作为一边的 $n_1+1$ 个三角形面积相等,所以每个面积为 $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{n_1+1}\cdot y$。类似地,在 $\overline{BC}$、$\overline{CD}$、$\overline{DA}$ 上作为一边的三角形面积分别为 $\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{n_2+1}\cdot(1-x)$、$\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{n_3+1}\cdot(1-y)$、$\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{n_4+1}\cdot x$。令这些表达式两两相等,得到 \[ x=\frac{n_4+1}{n_2+n_4+2}=\frac{2(n_4+1)}{n} \quad\text{且}\quad y=\frac{n_1+1}{n_1+n_3+2}=\frac{2(n_1+1)}{n}. \] 因此,$n$ 射线可分点必须形如 \[ X=\left(\frac{2a}{n},\frac{2b}{n}\right), \] 其中 $1\le a<\frac{n}{2}$ 且 $1\le b<\frac{n}{2}$。反之,若 $X$ 具有此形式,则从 $X$ 出发的射线可将 $R$ 分割成 $n$ 个面积相等的三角形:这些射线把 $\overline{AB},\overline{BC},\overline{CD},\overline{DA}$ 分别分成 $b,\ \frac{n}{2}-a,\ \frac{n}{2}-b,\ a$ 段全等线段。 设 $X$ 是 100 射线可分点。若 $X$ 同时也是 60 射线可分点,则 \[ X=\left(\frac{a}{50},\frac{b}{50}\right)=\left(\frac{c}{30},\frac{d}{30}\right), \] 其中整数满足 $1\le a,b\le 49$ 且 $1\le c,d\le 29$。于是 $30a=50c$ 且 $30b=50d$,即 $a,b$ 都是 5 的倍数。反之,若 $a,b$ 都是 5 的倍数,则 \[ X=\left(\frac{a}{50},\frac{b}{50}\right)=\left(\frac{3a/5}{30},\frac{3b/5}{30}\right) \] 为 60 射线可分点。由于在 1 到 49 之间恰有 9 个 5 的倍数,所以所求点 $X$ 的个数为 \[ 49^2-9^2=40\cdot 58=2320. \]
