2008 Purple Comet Problems, 14

A circular track with diameter $500$ is externally tangent at a point A to a second circular track with diameter $1700.$ Two runners start at point A at the same time and run at the same speed. The first runner runs clockwise along the smaller track while the second runner runs clockwise along the larger track. There is a first time after they begin running when their two positions are collinear with the point A. At that time each runner will have run a distance of $\frac{m\pi}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n. $

2023 VIASM Summer Challenge, Problem 2

Given a $20 \times 101$ square table with $20$ rows and $101$ columns. One wants to fill numbers $0$ and $1$ in the unit squares of the table satisfying the following conditions: $[\text{i}]$ Each square has exactly one number to be filled in. $[\text{ii}]$ Each column is filled with exactly two $1'$s. $[\text{iii}]$ Any two rows with no more than one column are filled with two $1'$s. $a.$ How many ways to fill the numbers satisfying the given conditions? $b.$ With a satisfied numbering way, we number the rows in order from top to bottom. A triple of row (distinct, unordered) $\{a; b; c\}$ is said to be [i]united[/i] if the sets of numbers in the three rows are $(a_1, a_2, . . . , a_{101}), (b_1, b_2, . . . . , b_{101}),$ and $(c_1, c_2, . . . . , c_{101})$ satisfied$$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{101} {({a_i}{b_i} + {b_i}{c_i} + {c_i}{a_i})} = 3.$$ Prove that: there are at least $10$ [i]united[/i] sets.

Consider the area encircled by $x^2=4y,x^2=-4y,x=4,x=-4$, rotate it around $y$-axis, the volume of the revolved body is $V_1$. Then consider the figure formed by all points $(x,y)$ that $x^2+y^2\leq16,x^2+(y-2)^2\geq4,x^2+(y-2)^2\geq4$, rotate it around $y$-axis, the volume of the revolved body is $V_2$. The relationship between $V_1$ and $V_2$ is $\text{(A)}V_1=\frac{1}{2}V_2\qquad\text{(B)}V_1=\frac{2}{3}V_2\qquad\text{(C)}V_1=V_2\qquad\text{(D)}V_1=2V_2$
