IR-MO 2002 Problem 13

    f,gf,g are two permutations of set X={1,…,n}X=\{1,\dots,n\} . We say f,gf,g have common points iff there is a k∈Xk\in X that f(k)=g(k)f(k)=g(k) . a) If m>n2m>\frac{n}{2} , prove that there are mm permutations f1,f2,…,fmf_{1},f_{2},\dots,f_{m} from XX that for each permutation f∈Xf\in X , there is an index ii that f,fif,f_{i} have common points. b) Prove that if m≤n2m\leq\frac{n}{2} , we can not find permutations f1,f2,…,fmf_{1},f_{2},\dots,f_{m} satisfying the above condition.
