  • Session A

i) Prove that if a function ff is continuous on the closed interval [0,π][0, \pi] and ∫0πf(t)cos⁡tdt=∫0πf(t)sin⁡tdt=0,\int_{0}^{\pi} f(t) \cos t dt= \int_{0}^{\pi} f(t) \sin t dt=0, then there exist points 0<α<β<π0 < \alpha < \beta < \pi such that f(α)=f(β)=0.f(\alpha) =f(\beta) =0. ii) Let RR be a bounded, convex, and open region in the Euclidean plane. Prove with the help of i) that the centroid of RR bisects at least three different chords of the boundary of R.R.
