FI-MO 2009 Problem 5

    As in the picture below, the rectangle on the left hand side has been divided into four parts by line segments which are parallel to a side of the rectangle. The areas of the small rectangles are A,B,CA,B,C and DD . Similarly, the small rectangles on the right hand side have areas A′,B′,C′A^\prime,B^\prime,C^\prime and D′D^\prime . It is known that A≤A′A\leq A^\prime , B≤B′B\leq B^\prime , C≤C′C\leq C^\prime but D≤B′D\leq B^\prime .

    AA BB CC DD A′A' B′B' C′C' D′D'

    Prove that the big rectangle on the left hand side has area smaller or equal to the area of the big rectangle on the right hand side, i.e. A+B+C+D≤A′+B′+C′+D′A+B+C+D\leq A^\prime+B^\prime+C^\prime+D^\prime .
