Multiple Problems B4D517
1. Problem: Find how many integers $\leq 1000$ are not multiples of 4, 5, or 6.
Step 1: Use Inclusion-Exclusion Principle.
Step 2: Count multiples:
- Multiples of 4: $\left\lfloor \frac{1000}{4} \right\rfloor = 250$
- Multiples of 5: $\left\lfloor \frac{1000}{5} \right\rfloor = 200$
- Multiples of 6: $\left\lfloor \frac{1000}{6} \right\rfloor = 166$
Step 3: Count multiples of pairwise intersections:
- Multiples of $\mathrm{lcm}(4,5)=20$: $\left\lfloor \frac{1000}{20} \right\rfloor = 50$
- Multiples of $\mathrm{lcm}(4,6)=12$: $\left\lfloor \frac{1000}{12} \right\rfloor = 83$
- Multiples of $\mathrm{lcm}(5,6)=30$: $\left\lfloor \frac{1000}{30} \right\rfloor = 33$
Step 4: Count multiples of triple intersection:
- Multiples of $\mathrm{lcm}(4,5,6)=60$: $\left\lfloor \frac{1000}{60} \right\rfloor = 16$
Step 5: Apply Inclusion-Exclusion:
$$
\text{Multiples of 4 or 5 or 6} = 250 + 200 + 166 - 50 - 83 - 33 + 16 = 466
$$
Step 6: Total integers $\leq 1000$ are 1000, so those not multiples of 4,5,6:
$$
1000 - 466 = 534

2. Problem: Find number of permutations of $\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$ where 1 and 6 are not at the ends.
Step 1: Total permutations of 6 elements: $6! = 720$
Step 2: Count permutations with 1 or 6 at ends.
Step 3: Number with 1 at an end: 2 ends $\times$ permutations of remaining 5 elements $= 2 \times 5! = 240$
Step 4: Number with 6 at an end: similarly 240
Step 5: Number with both 1 and 6 at ends:
- 1 at left and 6 at right: $4! = 24$
- 6 at left and 1 at right: $4! = 24$
- Total: 48
Step 6: By Inclusion-Exclusion, number with 1 or 6 at ends:
$$
240 + 240 - 48 = 432
$$
Step 7: Number with neither 1 nor 6 at ends:
$$
720 - 432 = 288
$$

3. Problem: Prove that among any 5 points inside an equilateral triangle of side 2 cm, there exist two points at distance $\leq 1$ cm.
Step 1: Divide the triangle into 4 smaller equilateral triangles by connecting midpoints of sides.
Step 2: Each smaller triangle has side length 1 cm.
Step 3: By pigeonhole principle, placing 5 points into 4 smaller triangles means at least one triangle contains 2 points.
Step 4: Maximum distance between any two points in a small triangle is its side length 1 cm.
Step 5: Hence, there exist two points with distance $\leq 1$ cm.

4. Problem: Given set $A$ of 20 integers, prove there exists subset $B \subseteq A$ with $|B|=4$ such that for every $x,y \in B$, $x - y$ is divisible by 6.
Step 1: Consider residues modulo 6 of elements in $A$.
Step 2: There are 6 residue classes mod 6.
Step 3: By pigeonhole principle, at least one residue class contains at least $\left\lceil \frac{20}{6} \right\rceil = 4$ elements.
Step 4: These 4 elements form subset $B$ where differences are multiples of 6.

5. Problem: From 21 integers chosen from $\{1,6,11,\ldots,196\}$, prove there exist two whose sum is 197.
Step 1: The set is an arithmetic progression with first term 1, common difference 5, last term 196.
Step 2: Number of terms: $\frac{196 - 1}{5} + 1 = 40$.
Step 3: Pairs summing to 197 are $(1,196), (6,191), (11,186), \ldots$ each pair sums to 197.
Step 4: There are 20 such pairs.
Step 5: Selecting 21 numbers from these 40 means by pigeonhole principle, at least one pair is chosen.
Step 6: Hence, there exist two numbers whose sum is 197.
