Let $A, B\subset \mathbb{Z}$ be two sets of integers. We say that $A,B$ are [u]mutually repulsive[/u] if there exist positive integers $m,n$ and two sequences of integers $\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \dots, \alpha_n$ and $\beta_1, \beta_2, \dots, \beta_m$, for which there is a [b]unique[/b] integer $x$ such that the number of its appearances in the sequence of sets $A+\alpha_1, A+\alpha_2, \dots, A+\alpha_n$ is [u]different[/u] than the number of its appearances in the sequence of sets $B+\beta_1, \dots, B+\beta_m$. For a given quadruple of positive integers $(n_1,d_1, n_2, d_2)$, determine whether the sets \[A=\{d_1, 2d_1, \dots, n_1d_1\}\] \[B=\{d_2, 2d_2, \dots, n_2d_2\}\] are mutually repulsive. For a set $X\subset \mathbb{Z}$ and $c\in \mathbb{Z}$, we define $X+c=\{x+c\mid x\in X\}$.

An electric circuit has a battery of EMF $E$ and it is connected to a resistor system as shown in the image below. The resistor system alone is put in an adiabatic box (with circuit still connected) filled with ideal gas and containing a thermally conducting plate (plate shewn below) with coefficient of areal thermal expansion $\beta$ and heat capacity $c$. $R_2,R_5,R_3$ are fixed and $R_1,R_4$ are variable. Assume temperature change doesn't alter any of the macroscopically noticeable attributes of the wire and resistors. [list] [*]Find the condition on the resistors (all of them non-zero) for which the rate thermal expansion attains maximum.[/*] [*] Find the equivalent resistance in such a condition described above.[/*] [*] Draw how the plate will look like after a time $t$ and describe its size qualitatively.(Just the shape matters in drawing).[/*] [/list]

There are $200$ boxes on the table. In the beginning, each of the boxes contains a positive integer (the integers are not necessarily distinct). Every minute, Alice makes one move. A move consists of the following. First, she picks a box $X$ which contains a number $c$ such that $c = a + b$ for some numbers $a$ and $b$ which are contained in some other boxes. Then she picks a positive integer $k > 1$. Finally, she removes $c$ from $X$ and replaces it with $kc$. If she cannot make any mobes, she stops. Prove that no matter how Alice makes her moves, she won't be able to make infinitely many moves.

Two players play a game on an infinite board that consists of unit squares. Player $I$ chooses a square and marks it with $O$. Then player $II$ chooses another square and marks it with $X$. They play until one of the players marks a whole row or a whole column of five consecutive squares, and this player wins the game. If no player can achieve this, the result of the game is a tie. Show that player $II$ can prevent player $I$ from winning.
