(A)10 (B)12 (C)15 (D)20 (E)24 【Solution 1】
Suppose the palindrome number divisible by 9 is aba , where 1 a 9, 0 b 9. A number is divisible by 9 if and only if sum of its digits is divisible by 9, vice versa. Then a b a 2ab is divisible by 9.
When 2a b 27 , we have only 999.
When 2a b 18 , we have 585, 666, 747, 828, 909. When 2a b 9 , we have 171, 252, 333, 414. There are totally 1 5 4 10 of them. Hence (A).
【Solution 2】
Suppose the palindrome number divisible by 9 is aba , where 1 a 9, 0 b 9. A number is divisible by 9 if and only if sum of its digits is divisible by 9, vice versa. When a1, we have only 171.

of n1 and 24 is 3. Which of the following numbers cannot be n? (A)2 (B)14 (C)20 (D)38 (E)50 【Solution】
It is known that n is divisible by 2 but not by 4, only (C) not satisfied. Plug in other values to check that the conditions are satisfied. Hence (C).
Answer:(C) 12. In the figure below, let point E be the midpoint of AD and point F be the midpoint of AC. If the area of triangle ABF is 8 cm2 and area of ADF is 6 cm2, then what is the area, in cm2, of triangle BCE?
(A)12 (B)13 (C)14 (D)15 (E)16 【Solution】
The area of BFC is equal area of ABF, which is 8 cm2; Area of DFC is equal to area of ADF, which is 6 cm2. Then area of ABCD is 8 8 6 6 28 cm2. Since E is midpoint of AD, area of ABE is half of area of ABD, which is 1(8 6) 7
2 cm

. Then area of BCE is 28 7 6 15 cm2. Hence (D). Answer:(D) B A D C E F
13. Shade 3 unit squares on the 3 3 grid below, such that there must be two shaded squares in some row and two shaded squares in some column but it must not have three shaded squares in any row or column. Find the total number of ways in shading the figure.
(A)6 (B)18 (C)36 (D)54 (E)72 【Solution】
There is one black square (say A); one black square (say B) on the same row as A; one black square (say C) on the same column as A. All other squares are white. A is special since it is the only black square with black square one its same row and with black square on its same column. B is special since it is the only square on the same row as A. C is special since it is the only square on the same column as A. There are 9 ways of choosing A; 2 ways of choosing B; 2 ways of choosing C. By the principle of multiplication, there are 9 2 2 36 ways of coloring. Hence (C).

One has that 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 19
45 36 20
a b c d . Since a, b, c, d are consecutive
positive integers, then 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4
a b c d a a a a a. Then 4 19 20 a , 4 4 19 a . Moreover 19 1
20 , then a>1. We get a2, 3 or 4.

18. An ant crawls on the plane. It starts at point A and crawls for 1 cm, then turns 60 to the right; crawls for another 2 cm and again turns 60 to the right; crawls for another 3 cm and turns 60 to the right; crawls for another 4 cm and turns 60 to the right; and finally it craws 5 cm and reaches F. What is the distance, in cm, between A and F?
(A)0 (B)3 (C)3 3 (D)6 (E) 6 3 【Solution】
Put the route of the ant onto an equilateral network, and find the distance between A and F is 6 cm. Hence (D).
Answer:(D) 19. Arrange all proper fractions in a sequence such that the denominators are all in
non-decreasing order, and while for equal denominators, the numerator is arranged in increasing order. The resulting sequence is as follows:
1 2, 1 3, 2 3, 1 4, 2 4, 3 4, 1 5, ….
It is known that the sum of first n terms of this sequence is an integer, which of the integers below is a possible value for n?
(A)2015 (B)2016 (C)2017 (D)2018 (E)2019 【Solution】
Since 2016 1 2 3 63, the first 2016 terms sum to
1 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 63 1 2 3 63
( ) ( ) ( ) 1008
2 33 4 4 4 6464 64 2 2 2 2 .
All other options are incorrect, then n can only be 2016 among these options. Hence (B). Answer:(B) A B C D E F
20. Using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 only once, create a sequence such that there is one number between 1 and 2, two numbers between 2 and 4, three numbers between 3 and 6 and four numbers between 4 and 8. How many different ways can we do this?
(A)12 (B)24 (C)36 (D)48 (E)60 【Solution】
First notice that 2 and 8 cannot be on different side of 4, otherwise there will be 2 1 4 7numbers between 2 and 8, a contradiction.
If 2 and 8 are both to the right of 4, the sequence partially looks like 4ab2c8, where 1 must be a.
If 4 is the first from the left, then the sequence looks like 41b2c8de, 3 and 6 must be at b,
d, two choices for them and two choices for remaining 5 and 7;
If 4 is the second from the left, it looks like d41b2c8e, 3 and 6 must be at b, e; two choices for them and two choices for 5 and 7;
If 4 is the third from the left, it looks like de41b2c8, 3 and 6 are at b, d, two choices for them and two choices for 5 and 7;
When 2 and 8 are both to the left of 4, it is symmetric to above arguments. The total number is then (2 2 2 2 2 2) 2 24. Hence (B).
Answer:(B) 21. An integer is known to be both a multiple of 3 and 7. Among all its divisors, there is one more multiple of 7 than multiple of 3. What is the least possible integer that satisfies the condition?
【Solution 1】
Among its divisors, those which are not multiples of 7 is one less than those which are not multiples of 3.
Write the integer as 1 1
3 7 a ak k
p p
, there are ( 1)(a11) (ak 1) of its divisors which is not a multiple of 7; there are ( 1)(a11) (ak 1) of its divisors which is not a multiple of 3. Then ( )(a11) (ak 1) 1, so k 0, 1, the least such integer is 3 7 2 147.
【Solution 2】
If the number is not a multiple of 72, then exactly half of its divisors is divisible by 7; It also has at least half number of divisors which is divisible by 3, a contradiction. The number is a multiple of 72, then this number is at least 3 7 2 147, 147 satisfies the condition by direct check.
【Solution 3】
It is obvious the number is a multiple of 21, direct check shows that 147 is the least such number.

2 72
BAC x
.
Answer:072 23. Let a, b and c be real numbers such that abc1 and a b c ab bc ca6.
What is the value of a3b3 c3? 【Solution】
(a1)(b1)(c 1) abc(ab bc ca)(a b c) 1 0. Then one of a, b, c is 1, if a1, then bc1, b c 5. We get a3 b3 c3 1 (b c)((bc)2 3 ) 111bc .
Answer:111 24. Let a be a positive integer such that 2018 a 2 is also positive. What is the
maximum possible number of divisors of 2018 a 2? 【Solution】
Since 2018 has remainder 2 divided by 4; remainder 2 divided by 3 and remainder 3 divided by 5. And no square has remainder 2 divided by 4; or remainder 2 divided by 3; or remainder 3 divided by 5. 2018 a 2 is divisible by at most 1st power of 2 and no divisors of 3 or 5. Since 74 20182018 a 2, 2018 a 2 has at most three odd prime divisors (repetitions counted). So 2018 a 2 can have at most 24 16 different
divisors.
When a4, 2018a2 2002 2 7 11 13 has 16 different divisors. 16 is the maximum. Answer:016 A B C D
25. Cut the 8 8 square table below into rectangles along grid lines such that no two rectangles are identical. What is the maximum number of rectangles one can get? (Note: A square is considered a rectangle.)
【Solution】
For more rectangles, the rectangles we get need to be as small in area as possible. There one rectangle of area 1, 2 or 3; two rectangles of area 4(1 4 and 2 2 ); one of area 5; two of area 6(1 6 and 2 3 ); one of area 7 (1 7 ); two of area 8 (1 8 and 2 4 ); two of area 9 (1 9 (but it can’t exist) and 3 3 ). These are the first 12 rectangles of smallest area. Since
1 2 3 4 4 5 6 6 7 8 8 9 63 8 8 64, 8 8 64 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 6 7 8 8 9 9 72,
It shows that there are at most 12 different rectangles. The figure below shows an example:
