ZA-SAMO 2014 Problem 6

    Let OO be the centre of a two-dimensional coordinate system, and let A1,A2,…,AnA_1, A_2, \ldots ,A_n be points in the first quadrant and B1,B2,…,BmB_1, B_2, \ldots , B_m points in the second quadrant. We associate numbers a1,a2,…,ana_1, a_2, \ldots , a_n to the points A1,A2,…,AnA_1, A_2, \ldots ,A_n and numbers b1,b2,…,bmb_1, b_2, \ldots, b_m to the points B1,B2,…,BmB_1, B_2, \ldots , B_m , respectively. It turns out that the area of triangle OAjBkOA_jB_k is always equal to the product ajbka_jb_k , for any jj and kk . Show that either all the AjA_j or all the BkB_k lie on a single line through OO .
