Prove: if an infinte arithmetic sequence ($ a_n\equal{}a_0\plus{}nd$) of positive real numbers contains two different powers of an integer $ a>1$, then the sequence contains an infinite geometric sequence ($ b_n\equal{}b_0q^n$) of real numbers.

For positive integers $n, k, l$, we define the number of $l$-tuples of positive integers $(a_1,a_2,\cdots a_l)$ satisfying the following as $Q(n,k,l)$.
(i): $n=a_1+a_2+\cdots +a_l$
(ii): $a_1>a_2>\cdots > a_l > 0$.
(iii): $a_l$ is an odd number.
(iv): There are $k$ odd numbers out of $a_i$.
For example, from $9=8+1=6+3=6+2+1$, we have $Q(9,1,1)=1$, $Q(9,1,2)=2$, $Q(9,1,3)=1$.
Prove that if $n>k^2$, $\sum_{l=1}^n Q(n,k,l)$ is $0$ or an even number.

You are given a positive integer $k$ and not necessarily distinct positive integers $a_1, a_2 , a_3 , \ldots,
a_k$. It turned out that for any coloring of all positive integers from $1$ to $2021$ in one of the $k$ colors so that there are exactly $a_1$ numbers of the first color, $a_2$ numbers of the second color, $\ldots$, and $a_k$ numbers of the $k$-th color, there is always a number $x \in \{1, 2, \ldots, 2021\}$, such that the total number of numbers colored in the same color as $x$ is exactly $x$. What are the possible values of $k$?

Let $n$ be a positive integer. We say that a natural number $k$ has the property $C_n$ if there exist $2k$ distinct positive integers $a_1,b_1,\ldots,a_k,b_k$ such that the sums $a_1+b_1,\ldots,a_k+b_k$ are distinct and strictly smaller than $n$.

(b) Prove that $5$ has the property $C_{14}$.
(c) If $(2n-3)/5$ is an integer, prove that it has the property $C_n$.
