Let $p$ be an odd prime and $n$ a positive integer. In the coordinate plane, eight distinct points with integer coordinates lie on a circle with diameter of length $p^{n}$. Prove that there exists a triangle with vertices at three of the given points such that the squares of its side lengths are integers divisible by $p^{n+1}$.

$z=x+i y$ where $x$ and $y$ are two real numbers. Find the locus of the point $(x, y)$ in the plane, for which $\frac{z+i}{z-i}$ is purely imaginary (that is, it is of the form $i b$ where $b$ is a real number). [Here, $i=\sqrt{-1}$ [list=1] [*] A straight line [*] A circle [*] A parabole [*] None of these [/list]

Q. A light source at the point $(0, 16)$ in the co-ordinate plane casts light in all directions. A disc(circle along ith it's interior) of radius $2$ with center at $(6, 10)$ casts a shadow on the X-axis. The length of the shadow can be written in the form $m\sqrt{n}$ where $m, n$ are positive integers and $n$ is squarefree. Find $m + n$.

Every point with integer coordinates in the plane is the center of a disk with radius $1/1000$. (1) Prove that there exists an equilateral triangle whose vertices lie in different discs. (2) Prove that every equilateral triangle with vertices in different discs has side-length greater than $96$.

Consider the ellipsoid$$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}+\frac{z^2}{b^2}=1$$($a$ and $b > 0$) and the ellipse $E$ which is the intersection of the ellipsoid with the plane of equation$$mx + ny + pz = 0$$where the point $P = [m, n, p]$ is a random point from the unit sphere $(m^2 + n^2 + p^2 = 1)$. Consider the random variable $A_E$ the area of the ellipse $E$. If the point $P$ is chosen with uniform distribution with respect to the area on the unit sphere, what is the expectation of $A_E$ ?

$f$ is a function on the set of complex numbers such that $f(z)=1/(z*)$, where $z*$ is the complex conjugate of $z$. $S$ is the set of complex numbers $z$ such that the real part of $f(z)$ lies between $1/2020$ and $1/2018$. If $S$ is treated as a subset of the complex plane, the area of $S$ can be expressed as $m× \pi$ where $m$ is an integer. What is the value of $m$?
