Problem Statement
p1. A group of mechanics have inspected a lot of old vehicles, and together they determined that of these have engine problems, have electrical faults and have oil leaks. There are exactly vehicles that have engine problems and electrical faults, with engine problems and oil leakage, and with electrical faults and engine leaks. But nevertheless, of all vehicles, only two have all three defects at the same time, while the last vehicles they are in perfect condition. Determine how many total cars are on that lot.
p2. A number is said fourfriend when he and all the numbers that are obtained by rearranging their digits in any order they are multiples of . Determine how many -digit numbers are fourfriends. Note: A friend number four cannot have digits in its decimal representation.
p3. A sequence of numbers is formed, each of which is equal to the product of consecutive numbers, as follows: , , , ... , . Juan adds the inverses of all these numbers and obtains as a result a rational number, whose simplified expression is (that is, and have no divisors in common), with natural and . Find the value of .
p4. There is a trapezoid with bases and . A point moves along side and let , be the centers of the circles that pass through the vertices of the triangles and , respectively. Show that the distance from to is constant, regardless of the position of point .
p5. Determine the value of the following expression:
