Suppose we have 14 red balls and 14 green balls as in the previous exercise. Show that at least two pairs, consisting of one red
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

since each ball has a different number and if no two pairs have the same value there is going to be 14∗14 different sums. Looking at the numbers 1 through 100 the highest sum is 199 and lowest is 3, giving 197 possible sums

For the 14 case, we show that there exist at least one number from set {3,4,5,...,17} is not obtainable and at least one number from set {199,198,...,185} is not obtainable.

So we are left with 197 - 195 options

14 x 14 = 196

196 > 195

so there are two pairs consisting of one red and one green ball that have the same value

As to the comment, I constructed a counter-example list for the 13 case as follows. The idea of constructing this list is similar to the proof for the 14 case.

Red: (1,9,16,23,30,37,44,51,58,65,72,79,86)

Green: (2,3,4,5,6,7,8;94,95,96,97,98,99,100)

Note that 86+8=94 and 1+94=95 so there are no duplicated sum

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 14 case, we show that there exist at least one number from set {3,4,5,...,17} is not obtainable and at least one number from set {199,198,...,185} is not obtainable.

First consider the set {3,4,5,...,17}.

Suppose all numbers in this set are obtainable.

Then since 3 is obtainable, 1 and 2 are of different color. Then since 4 is obtainable, 1 and 3 are of different color. Now suppose 1 is of one color and 2,3,...,n−1 where n−1<17 are of the same color that is different from 1's color, then if n<17 in order for n+1 to be obtainable n and 1 must be of different color so 2,3,...,n are of same color. Hence by induction for all n<17, 2,3,...,n must be of same color. However this means there are 16−2+1=15 balls of the color contradiction.

Hence there exist at least one number in the set not obtainable.

We can use a similar argument to show if all elements in {199,198,...,185} are obtainable then 99,98,...,85 must all be of the same color which means there are 15 balls of the color contradiction so there are at least one number not obtainable as well.

Now we have only 195 choices left and 196>195 so identical sum must appear

A similar argument can be held for the case of 13 red balls and 14 green balls

The sum of three numbers is 91. the third number is 2 times the first. the first number is 7 less than the second. what are the
PolarNik [594]
Let's call the three numbers a, b, and c.
Now we can turn the information we are given into equations.
The sum of the three numbers is 26:
a + b + c = 26
Twice the first (2 times a) minus the second (2 times a minus b) is 2 less than the third:
2a - b = c - 2
The third is the second minus three times the first:
c = b - 3a
Counting what we have here, we now have three equations and three variables: enough to solve the whole system of equations.
The third equation gives us c directly, so we can start there and substitute into the second equation:
2a - b = (b - 3a) - 2
2a + 3a = b + b - 2
5a = 2b - 2
Let's get one of these variables on its own so we can continue with the substitution:
5a + 2 = 2b
b = (5a + 2) / 2
Now we have c in terms of a and b, and b in terms of just a. So let's use the first equation and substitute to find out what a is:
a + b + c = 26
a + (5a + 2) / 2 + (b - 3a) = 26
a + (5/2)a + 1 + (5a + 2) / 2 - 3a = 26
7/2a + 1 + 5/2a + 1 - 3a = 26
12/2a + 2 - 3a = 26
6a - 3a = 26 - 2
3a = 24
a = 8
At last, we have solved for one of the variables. Now, plug this into the equation for b to find b:
b = (5a + 2) / 2 = (5(8) + 2) / 2 = (40 + 2) / 2 = 42 / 2 = 21
Now we have a and b. Time to find c!
a + b + c = 26
(8) + (21) + c = 26
29 + c = 26
c = 26 - 29
c = -3
<span>So our values for a, b, and c are 8, 21, and -3.</span>
