UA-UMO 2021 Problem 7

    The sequence a1,a2,...,a2na_1,a_2, ..., a_{2n} of integers is such that each number occurs in no more than nn times. Prove that there are two strictly increasing sequences of indices b1,b2,...,bnb_1,b_2, ..., b_{n} and c1,c2,...,cnc_1,c_2, ..., c_{n} are such that every positive integer from the set {1,2,...,2n}\{1,2,...,2n\} occurs exactly in one of these two sequences, and for each 1≤i≤n1\le i \le n is true the condition abi≠acia_{b_i} \ne a_{c_i} .
