BALTIC-WAY 2003 Problem 6
Let n ≥ 2 n \geq 2 n ≥ 2 and d ≥ 1 d \geq 1 d ≥ 1 be integers with d ∣ n d \mid n d ∣ n , and let x 1 , x 2 , … , x n x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{n} x 1 , x 2 , … , x n be real numbers such that x 1 + x 2 + ⋯ + x n = 0 x_{1}+x_{2}+\cdots+x_{n}=0 x 1 + x 2 + ⋯ + x n = 0 . Prove that there are at least ( n − 1 d − 1 ) \left(\begin{array}{l}n-1 \\ d-1\end{array}\right) ( n − 1 d − 1 ) choices of d d d indices 1 ≤ i 1 < i 2 < ⋯ < i d ≤ n 1 \leq i_{1}<i_{2}<\cdots<i_{d} \leq n 1 ≤ i 1 < i 2 < ⋯ < i d ≤ n such that x i 1 + x i 2 + ⋯ + x i d ≥ 0 x_{i_{1}}+x_{i_{2}}+\cdots+x_{i_{d}} \geq 0 x i 1 + x i 2 + ⋯ + x i d ≥ 0 .
