9th Balkan 1992

------
A1.  Let a(n) = 34n. For which n is (ma(n)+6 - ma(n)+4 - m5 + m3) always divisible by 1992?
A2.  Prove that (2n2 + 3n + 1)n ≥ 6nn! n! for all positive integers.
A3.  ABC is a triangle area 1. Take D on BC, E on CA, F on AB, so that AFDE is cyclic. Prove that: area DEF ≤ EF2/(4 AD2).
A4.  For each n > 2 find the smallest f(n) such that any subset of {1, 2, 3, ... , n} with f(n) elements must have three which are relatively prime (in pairs).

To avoid possible copyright problems, I have changed the wording, but not the substance, of the problems.
