CMO 1989 Problem 1

  • Day 1

We are given two point sets AA and BB which are both composed of finite disjoint arcs on the unit circle. Moreover, the length of each arc in BB is equal to πm\dfrac{\pi}{m} ( m∈Nm \in \mathbb{N} ). We denote by AjA^j the set obtained by a counterclockwise rotation of AA about the center of the unit circle for jπm\dfrac{j\pi}{m} ( j=1,2,3,…j=1,2,3,\dots ). Show that there exists a natural number kk such that l(Ak∩B)≥12πl(A)l(B)l(A^k\cap B)\ge \dfrac{1}{2\pi}l(A)l(B) .(Here l(X)l(X) denotes the sum of lengths of all disjoint arcs in the point set XX )
