Extend DA and CM to meet at E as shown in the figure above. Since AM = MB, LAEM = LBCM and LAME = LBMC, we conclude that MEM is congruent

Consider any integer k where 1 S k S 2010. By division algorithm, there exists unique pair of integers (q, r) such that 2010 = kq + r with 0 S r S k - 1. We rewrite this as 2010 = (k - r)q + r(q + 1). That is, k - r copies of q and r copies of q + 1 add up to is one desired expression for each value of k, which is clearly unique. such expressions all.

Answer: 72
First we find the number of ordered pairs (m, n) of positive integers m and n that m + n = 190 and m and n are not relatively prime.
To this end, write m = ka and n = kb, where k, a and b are positive integers k > l. Since m + n = 190, we see that k is a factor of = 2x5x k"# We consider six cases:
(i)
k = 2. Then a + b = 95, and

Since the total number of ordered pairs (m, such that m + n = 190 is 189, we I.JV .... _H-<Uv
that the required number of ordered pairs (m, n) where m and n are relatively prime is 1 -117 = 72.

By considering number 2-digit, 3-digit, 4-digit and 5-digit positive with exactly one 0 their decimal representation, we obtain

Hence
M = l x 28602 x 2+2x4626x 22 +3x333x 23 +4x9x24 =102780, and it follows that M - 100000 = 2780.

Let n = p4 _5p2 +13. Whenp = 3, we have n = 49 and so the sum of digits is 13. Whenp = 5, we have n = 513 and the resulting sum of digits is 9.
Now let p > 5 be a prime. We have
n= p4 _Sp2 +13=(p-2)(p-l)(p+
