AMC 12 2011b Problem 25

  • Paper

For every mm and kk integers with kk odd, denote by [mk]\left[\frac{m}{k}\right] the integer closest to mk\frac{m}{k}. For every odd integer kk, let P(k)P(k) be the probability that

[nk]+[100−nk]=[100k]\left[\frac{n}{k}\right] + \left[\frac{100 - n}{k}\right] = \left[\frac{100}{k}\right]

for an integer nn randomly chosen from the interval 1≤n≤99!1 \leq n \leq 99!. What is the minimum possible value of P(k)P(k) over the odd integers kk in the interval 1≤k≤991 \leq k \leq 99?

\textbf{(A)}\ \frac{1}{2} \textbf{(B)}\ \frac{50}{99} \textbf{(C)}\ \frac{44}{87} \textbf{(D)}\ \frac{34}{67} \textbf{(E)}\ \frac{7}{13}
