Difficulty rating: 770

Solution:

Rows 1212 through 2222 inclusive make up 2212+1=1122 - 12 + 1 = 11 rows.

Each row has 3333 seats, so the total is 33×11=363.33 \times 11 = 363.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

Difficulty rating: 920

Solution:

The numbers 7070 through 7979 give 1010 with a 77 in the tens place.

The numbers 17,27,,9717, 27, \ldots, 97 give 99 with a 77 in the units place.

Since 7777 is counted twice, the total is 10+91=18.10 + 9 - 1 = 18.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

Difficulty rating: 820

Solution:

Working backward from the fifth practice, the counts are 48,24,12,6,48, 24, 12, 6, and 33 at the fourth, third, second, and first practices.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

4.

A standard six-sided die is rolled, and PP is the product of the five numbers that are visible. What is the largest number that is certain to divide P?P?

66

1212

2424

144144

720720

Solution:

Since 6!=720=24325,6! = 720 = 2^4 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5, the visible product uses only the primes 2,3,2, 3, and 5.5.

Hiding 44 leaves the fewest 22's, namely 22.2^2. Hiding 33 or 66 leaves the fewest 33's, namely one. Hiding 55 leaves no factor of 5.5.

Therefore PP is always divisible by 223=12,2^2 \cdot 3 = 12, but not necessarily by any larger number.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

5.

In the expression cabd,c \cdot a^b - d, the values of a,b,c,a, b, c, and dd are 0,1,2,0, 1, 2, and 3,3, although not necessarily in that order. What is the maximum possible value of the result?

55

66

88

99

1010

Difficulty rating: 1120

Solution:

Setting d=0d = 0 removes the subtraction, so we maximize cabc \cdot a^b using 1,2,3.1, 2, 3.

Taking c=1,c = 1, a=3,a = 3, b=2b = 2 gives 32=9.3^2 = 9. The alternative 23=82^3 = 8 is smaller, and any assignment with c>1c \gt 1 forces a smaller power. The maximum is 9.9.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

6.

Which of the following numbers is a perfect square?

98!99!98! \cdot 99!

98!100!98! \cdot 100!

99!100!99! \cdot 100!

99!101!99! \cdot 101!

100!101!100! \cdot 101!

Difficulty rating: 1290

Solution:

For m<n,m \lt n, we have m!n!=(m!)2(m+1)(m+2)n,m! \cdot n! = (m!)^2 \cdot (m+1)(m+2)\cdots n, which is a perfect square precisely when (m+1)n(m+1)\cdots n is a perfect square.

For the five choices this leftover factor is 99,99, 99100,99 \cdot 100, 100,100, 100101,100 \cdot 101, and 101.101. Only 100=102100 = 10^2 is a perfect square.

Therefore 99!100!=(99!10)299! \cdot 100! = (99! \cdot 10)^2 is the perfect square.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

7.

On a trip from the United States to Canada, Isabella took dd U.S. dollars. At the border she exchanged them all, receiving 1010 Canadian dollars for every 77 U.S. dollars. After spending 6060 Canadian dollars, she had dd Canadian dollars left. What is the sum of the digits of d?d?

Difficulty rating: 1100

Solution:

Isabella received 107d\dfrac{10}{7}d Canadian dollars and spent 60,60, leaving d.d. So 107d60=d. \dfrac{10}{7}d - 60 = d.

Then 37d=60,\dfrac{3}{7}d = 60, so d=140.d = 140. The sum of its digits is 1+4+0=5.1 + 4 + 0 = 5.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

8.

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is 88 miles southwest of downtown St. Paul and 1010 miles southeast of downtown Minneapolis. Which of the following is closest to the number of miles between downtown St. Paul and downtown Minneapolis?

1313

1414

1515

1616

1717

Difficulty rating: 1030

Solution:

The two given directions are perpendicular, so the airport sits at the right angle of a right triangle with legs 88 and 10.10.

The distance between the downtowns is 82+102=16412.8,\sqrt{8^2 + 10^2} = \sqrt{164} \approx 12.8, which is closest to 13.13.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

9.

A square has sides of length 10,10, and a circle centered at one of its vertices has radius 10.10. What is the area of the union of the regions enclosed by the square and the circle?

200+25π200 + 25\pi

100+75π100 + 75\pi

75+100π75 + 100\pi

100+100π100 + 100\pi

100+125π100 + 125\pi

Difficulty rating: 1270

Solution:

The square has area 102=10010^2 = 100 and the circle has area π(10)2=100π.\pi(10)^2 = 100\pi.

Since the circle is centered at a vertex of the square, exactly one quarter of the circle, area 25π,25\pi, lies inside the square.

The union has area 100+100π25π=100+75π.100 + 100\pi - 25\pi = 100 + 75\pi.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

10.

A grocer makes a display of cans in which the top row has one can and each lower row has two more cans than the row above it. If the display contains 100100 cans, how many rows does it contain?

55

88

99

1010

1111

Difficulty rating: 1170

Solution:

The rows hold 1,3,5,1, 3, 5, \ldots cans, and the sum of the first nn odd numbers is n2.n^2.

Setting n2=100n^2 = 100 gives n=10.n = 10.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

11.

Two eight-sided dice each have faces numbered 11 through 8.8. When the dice are rolled, each face has an equal probability of appearing on the top. What is the probability that the product of the two top numbers is greater than their sum?

12\dfrac{1}{2}

4764\dfrac{47}{64}

34\dfrac{3}{4}

5564\dfrac{55}{64}

78\dfrac{7}{8}

Solution:

There are 88=648 \cdot 8 = 64 ordered pairs. The inequality mn>m+nmn \gt m + n is equivalent to (m1)(n1)>1.(m-1)(n-1) \gt 1.

This fails only when m=1,m = 1, n=1,n = 1, or m=n=2,m = n = 2, which account for 8+81+1=168 + 8 - 1 + 1 = 16 pairs.

The probability is 641664=4864=34.\dfrac{64 - 16}{64} = \dfrac{48}{64} = \dfrac{3}{4}.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

12.

An annulus is the region between two concentric circles. The concentric circles in the figure have radii bb and c,c, with b>c.b \gt c. Let OX\overline{OX} be a radius of the larger circle, let XZ\overline{XZ} be tangent to the smaller circle at Z,Z, and let OY\overline{OY} be the radius of the larger circle that contains Z.Z. Let a=XZ,a = XZ, d=YZ,d = YZ, and e=XY.e = XY. What is the area of the annulus?

πa2\pi a^2

πb2\pi b^2

πc2\pi c^2

πd2\pi d^2

πe2\pi e^2

Solution:

The annulus is the difference of the two circular areas, πb2πc2.\pi b^2 - \pi c^2.

Because XZ\overline{XZ} is tangent to the small circle at Z,Z, it is perpendicular to the radius OZ.\overline{OZ}. In right triangle OZXOZX with OX=b,OX = b, OZ=c,OZ = c, and XZ=a,XZ = a, we get b2c2=a2.b^2 - c^2 = a^2.

Therefore the area of the annulus is πa2.\pi a^2.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

13.

In the United States, coins have the following thicknesses: penny, 1.551.55 mm; nickel, 1.951.95 mm; dime, 1.351.35 mm; quarter, 1.751.75 mm. If a stack of these coins is exactly 1414 mm high, how many coins are in the stack?

77

88

99

1010

1111

Difficulty rating: 1530

Solution:

Each thickness ends with 55 in the hundredths place. A stack of an odd number of coins keeps a 55 there, and pairs give an odd digit in the tenths place, so a whole-number height requires the count to be a multiple of 4.4.

A stack of 44 coins is at most 4(1.95)=7.84(1.95) = 7.8 mm, and a stack of 1212 coins is at least 12(1.35)=16.212(1.35) = 16.2 mm, so only 88 coins can total 1414 mm.

Indeed, 88 quarters give 8(1.75)=148(1.75) = 14 mm.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

14.

A bag initially contains red marbles and blue marbles only, with more blue than red. Red marbles are added to the bag until only 13\tfrac{1}{3} of the marbles in the bag are blue. Then yellow marbles are added to the bag until only 15\tfrac{1}{5} of the marbles in the bag are blue. Finally, the number of blue marbles in the bag is doubled. What fraction of the marbles now in the bag are blue?

15\dfrac{1}{5}

14\dfrac{1}{4}

13\dfrac{1}{3}

25\dfrac{2}{5}

12\dfrac{1}{2}

Difficulty rating: 1240

Solution:

Let there be BB blue marbles. After adding red marbles the total is 3B;3B; after adding yellow marbles the total is 5B,5B, still with BB blue.

Doubling the blue marbles gives 2B2B blue out of 6B6B total, which is 2B6B=13.\dfrac{2B}{6B} = \dfrac{1}{3}.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

15.

Patty has 2020 coins consisting of nickels and dimes. If her nickels were dimes and her dimes were nickels, she would have 7070 cents more. How much are her coins worth?

$1.15\$1.15

$1.20\$1.20

$1.25\$1.25

$1.30\$1.30

$1.35\$1.35

Difficulty rating: 1240

Solution:

Swapping increases the value, so Patty has more nickels than dimes. Each swapped coin changes the total by 55 cents, so she has 70/5=1470 / 5 = 14 more nickels than dimes.

With n+d=20n + d = 20 and nd=14,n - d = 14, she has 1717 nickels and 33 dimes.

Her coins are worth 175+310=11517 \cdot 5 + 3 \cdot 10 = 115 cents, or $1.15.\$1.15.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

16.

Three circles of radius 11 are externally tangent to each other and internally tangent to a larger circle. What is the radius of the large circle?

2+63\dfrac{2 + \sqrt{6}}{3}

22

2+323\dfrac{2 + 3\sqrt{2}}{3}

3+233\dfrac{3 + 2\sqrt{3}}{3}

3+32\dfrac{3 + \sqrt{3}}{2}

Solution:

The centers of the three unit circles form an equilateral triangle with side 2.2. Its center is the center of the large circle.

The distance from the center of an equilateral triangle to a vertex is side3=23=233.\dfrac{\text{side}}{\sqrt3} = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt3} = \dfrac{2\sqrt3}{3}.

Adding the unit radius, the large radius is 1+233=3+233.1 + \dfrac{2\sqrt3}{3} = \dfrac{3 + 2\sqrt3}{3}.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

17.

The two digits in Jack's age are the same as the digits in Bill's age, but in reverse order. In five years Jack will be twice as old as Bill will be then. What is the difference in their current ages?

99

1818

2727

3636

4545

Difficulty rating: 1410

Solution:

Let Jack's age be 10x+y10x + y and Bill's be 10y+x.10y + x. In five years 10x+y+5=2(10y+x+5),10x + y + 5 = 2(10y + x + 5), which simplifies to 8x=19y+5.8x = 19y + 5.

Since xx and yy are digits, the only solution is y=1,y = 1, x=3.x = 3.

So Jack is 3131 and Bill is 13,13, a difference of 18.18.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

18.

In right triangle ACE,\triangle ACE, we have AC=12,AC = 12, CE=16,CE = 16, and EA=20.EA = 20. Points B,D,B, D, and FF are located on AC,CE,AC, CE, and EA,EA, respectively, so that AB=3,AB = 3, CD=4,CD = 4, and EF=5.EF = 5. What is the ratio of the area of BDF\triangle BDF to that of ACE?\triangle ACE?

14\dfrac{1}{4}

925\dfrac{9}{25}

38\dfrac{3}{8}

1125\dfrac{11}{25}

716\dfrac{7}{16}

Difficulty rating: 1630

Solution:

The area of ACE\triangle ACE is 12(12)(16)=96.\tfrac12(12)(16) = 96.

Each corner triangle ABF,\triangle ABF, BCD,\triangle BCD, and DEF\triangle DEF has a base and an altitude that are 34\tfrac34 and 14\tfrac14 of a corresponding base and altitude of ACE.\triangle ACE. So each has area 1434=316\tfrac14 \cdot \tfrac34 = \tfrac{3}{16} of ACE.\triangle ACE.

Hence [BDF][ACE]=13316=1916=716.\dfrac{[BDF]}{[ACE]} = 1 - 3 \cdot \dfrac{3}{16} = 1 - \dfrac{9}{16} = \dfrac{7}{16}.

Thus, the correct answer is E.

19.

In the sequence 2001,2002,2003,,2001, 2002, 2003, \ldots, each term after the third is found by subtracting the previous term from the sum of the two terms that precede that term. For example, the fourth term is 2001+20022003=2000.2001 + 2002 - 2003 = 2000. What is the 20042004th term in this sequence?

60076007

Difficulty rating: 1460

Solution:

The recurrence ak+1=ak2+ak1aka_{k+1} = a_{k-2} + a_{k-1} - a_k gives ak+1ak1=(akak2).a_{k+1} - a_{k-1} = -(a_k - a_{k-2}). The sequence begins 2001,2002,2003,2000,2005,1998,2001, 2002, 2003, 2000, 2005, 1998, \ldots

So the even-position terms form the arithmetic sequence 2002,2000,1998,2002, 2000, 1998, \ldots with common difference 2.-2. The 20042004th term is its 10021002nd term, 2002+1001(2)=0.2002 + 1001(-2) = 0.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

20.

In ABC\triangle ABC points DD and EE lie on BC\overline{BC} and AC,\overline{AC}, respectively. If AD\overline{AD} and BE\overline{BE} intersect at TT so that AT/DT=3AT/DT = 3 and BT/ET=4,BT/ET = 4, what is CD/BD?CD/BD?

310\dfrac{3}{10}

411\dfrac{4}{11}

512\dfrac{5}{12}

Difficulty rating: 1840

Solution:

Let FF be on AC\overline{AC} with DFBE,DF \parallel BE, and write ET=x,ET = x, BT=4x.BT = 4x.

From ATEADF,\triangle ATE \sim \triangle ADF, DFx=ADAT=43,\dfrac{DF}{x} = \dfrac{AD}{AT} = \dfrac{4}{3}, so DF=4x3.DF = \dfrac{4x}{3}.

From BECDFC,\triangle BEC \sim \triangle DFC, CDBC=DFBE=4x/35x=415.\dfrac{CD}{BC} = \dfrac{DF}{BE} = \dfrac{4x/3}{5x} = \dfrac{4}{15}.

Therefore CDBD=CD/BC1CD/BC=4/1511/15=411.\dfrac{CD}{BD} = \dfrac{CD/BC}{1 - CD/BC} = \dfrac{4/15}{11/15} = \dfrac{4}{11}.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

21.

Let 1,4,1, 4, \ldots and 9,16,9, 16, \ldots be two arithmetic progressions. The set SS is the union of the first 20042004 terms of each sequence. How many distinct numbers are in S?S?

37223722

37323732

39143914

39243924

40074007

Solution:

The first sequence is 1+3k1 + 3k with largest term 6010,6010, and the second is 9+7j9 + 7j with a much larger last term, so the binding limit is 6010.6010.

A common value has the form 16+21m16 + 21m (the first shared term is 16,16, spaced by lcm(3,7)=21\mathrm{lcm}(3, 7) = 21). Requiring 16+21m601016 + 21m \le 6010 gives 0m285,0 \le m \le 285, that is 286286 common numbers.

The number of distinct values is 2004+2004286=3722.2004 + 2004 - 286 = 3722.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

22.

A triangle with sides of 5,12,5, 12, and 1313 has both an inscribed and a circumscribed circle. What is the distance between the centers of those circles?

352\dfrac{3\sqrt{5}}{2}

72\dfrac{7}{2}

15\sqrt{15}

652\dfrac{\sqrt{65}}{2}

92\dfrac{9}{2}

Solution:

Since 52+122=132,5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2, the triangle is right. Place it at (0,0),(0, 0), (5,0),(5, 0), (0,12).(0, 12). The circumcenter is the midpoint of the hypotenuse, (52,6).\left(\tfrac52, 6\right).

The inradius satisfies (12r)+(5r)=13,(12 - r) + (5 - r) = 13, so r=2r = 2 and the incenter is (2,2).(2, 2).

The distance is (522)2+(62)2=14+16=652.\sqrt{\left(\tfrac52 - 2\right)^2 + (6 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{\tfrac14 + 16} = \dfrac{\sqrt{65}}{2}.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

23.

Each face of a cube is painted either red or blue, each with probability 12.\tfrac12. The color of each face is determined independently. What is the probability that the painted cube can be placed on a horizontal surface so that the four vertical faces are all the same color?

14\dfrac{1}{4}

516\dfrac{5}{16}

38\dfrac{3}{8}

716\dfrac{7}{16}

12\dfrac{1}{2}

Difficulty rating: 1990

Solution:

Fixing the orientation, there are 26=642^6 = 64 colorings.

A coloring works if all six faces match (22 ways), exactly five match ((65)2=12\binom{6}{5} \cdot 2 = 12 ways), or four faces share a color with the remaining pair being opposite faces of the other color (33 opposite pairs, 22 colors, giving 66 ways).

The total is 2+12+6=20,2 + 12 + 6 = 20, so the probability is 2064=516.\dfrac{20}{64} = \dfrac{5}{16}.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

24.

In ABC\triangle ABC we have AB=7,AB = 7, AC=8,AC = 8, and BC=9.BC = 9. Point DD is on the circumscribed circle of the triangle so that AD\overline{AD} bisects BAC.\angle BAC. What is the value of AD/CD?AD/CD?

177\dfrac{17}{7}

52\dfrac{5}{2}

Difficulty rating: 2030

Solution:

Let AD\overline{AD} meet BC\overline{BC} at E.E. Since ABC\angle ABC and ADC\angle ADC subtend the same arc, they are equal, and EAB=CAD,\angle EAB = \angle CAD, so ABEADC.\triangle ABE \sim \triangle ADC.

Hence ADCD=ABBE.\dfrac{AD}{CD} = \dfrac{AB}{BE}.

By the Angle Bisector Theorem, BEEC=ABAC,\dfrac{BE}{EC} = \dfrac{AB}{AC}, so BE=ABBCAB+AC=7915.BE = \dfrac{AB \cdot BC}{AB + AC} = \dfrac{7 \cdot 9}{15}.

Therefore ADCD=ABBE=AB+ACBC=159=53.\dfrac{AD}{CD} = \dfrac{AB}{BE} = \dfrac{AB + AC}{BC} = \dfrac{15}{9} = \dfrac{5}{3}.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

25.

A circle of radius 11 is internally tangent to two circles of radius 22 at points AA and B,B, where ABAB is a diameter of the smaller circle. What is the area of the region, shaded in the figure, that is outside the smaller circle and inside each of the two larger circles?

53π32\dfrac{5}{3}\pi - 3\sqrt{2}

53π23\dfrac{5}{3}\pi - 2\sqrt{3}

83π33\dfrac{8}{3}\pi - 3\sqrt{3}

83π32\dfrac{8}{3}\pi - 3\sqrt{2}

83π23\dfrac{8}{3}\pi - 2\sqrt{3}

Solution:

Let the large circles have centers AA and B,B, let CC be the center of the small circle, and let DD be a point where the two large circles meet.

Then ACD\triangle ACD is right with AC=1AC = 1 and AD=2,AD = 2, so CD=3,CD = \sqrt3, CAD=60,\angle CAD = 60^\circ, and its area is 32.\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}.

One quarter of the shaded region equals the 6060^\circ sector of the radius-22 circle (area 2π3\dfrac{2\pi}{3}) minus ACD\triangle ACD (area 32\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}) minus a quarter of the small circle (area π4\dfrac{\pi}{4}), giving 2π332π4=5π1232.\dfrac{2\pi}{3} - \dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} - \dfrac{\pi}{4} = \dfrac{5\pi}{12} - \dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}.

Multiplying by 4,4, the shaded area is 5π323.\dfrac{5\pi}{3} - 2\sqrt3.

Thus, the correct answer is B.
