  • Answer

Let SS be a set consisting of mm pairs (a,b)(a, b) of positive integers with the property that 1≤a<1 \leq a< b≤nb \leq n. Show that there are at least

4m(m−n24)3n4 m \frac{\left(m-\frac{n^{2}}{4}\right)}{3 n}

triples (a,b,c)(a, b, c) such that (a,b),(a,c)(a, b),(a, c), and (b,c)(b, c) belong to SS.
