ABCD is a parallelogram whose side lengths are a and
b (a ≠ b). The angular bisectors of interior angles are
drawn to intersect one another to form quadrilateral.

Integer Answer Type


  1. A point P(x, y) moves in such a way that
    [x + y + 1] = [x] (where [⋅] denotes greatest integer
    function) and x ∈ (0, 2). Then the area representing all
    the possible positions of P equals

  2. Given a point (2, 1). If the minimum perimeter of a
    triangle with one vertex at (2, 1), one on the x-axis, and
    one on the line y = x, is k, then [k] is equal to (where [⋅]
    denotes the greatest integer function)

  3. ABCD and PQRS are two variable rectangles, such
    that A, B, C and D lie on PQ, QR, RS and SP respectively
    and perimeter ‘x’ of ABCD is constant. If the maximum
    area of PQRS is 32, then x/4 =
