If $$b(a^2 - bc)(1 - ac) = a(b^2 - ca)(1 - bc)$$ where $$a \neq b$$ and $$abc \neq 0$$, prove that $$a + b + c = \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c}$$.
a, b, c are three distinct positive integers. Show that among the numbers $$a^5b - ab^5$$, $$b^5c - bc^5$$, $$c^5a - ca^5$$ there must be one which is divisible by 8.

There are four points P, Q, R, S on a plane such that no three of them are collinear. Can the triangles PQR, PQS, PRS and QRS be such that at least one has an interior angle less than or equal to $$45^\circ$$ ? If so, how? If not, why?

A straight line $$\ell$$ is drawn through the vertex C of an equilateral triangle ABC, wholly lying outside the triangle. AL, BM are drawn perpendiculars to the straight line $$\ell$$. If N is the midpoint of AB, prove that $$\triangle LMN$$ is an equilateral triangle.

ABCD is a parallelogram. Through C, a straight line is drawn outside the parallelogram. AP, BQ and DR are drawn perpendicular to this line. Show that $$AP = BQ + DR$$. If the line through C cuts one side internally, then will the same result hold? If so prove it. If not, what is the corresponding result? Justify your answer.

(a) Solve for x the equation $$\frac{x+5}{2018} + \frac{x+4}{2019} + \frac{x+3}{2020} + \frac{x+2}{2021} + \frac{x+1}{2022} + \frac{x}{2023} = -6$$.
(b) $$\frac{a^2+b^2}{725} = \frac{b^2+c^2}{149} = \frac{c^2+a^2}{674}$$ and $$a - c = 18$$, find the value of $$(a + b + c)$$.
