Asian Science and Maths Olympiad (ASMO) is a competition platform designed to challenge and evaluate studentβs knowledge in Mathematics and Science at their grade level. The questions in the Olympiad will stretch their knowledge and understanding of the concepts. Our syllabus fits nicely into the syllabus that concentrates on non-routine problem-solution to prepare the students for the competition. With the expansion of STEM education worldwide, ASMO certainly answers the need of it. Students will be well prepared with the skills to meet the science and technology challenges.
In Malaysia, ASMO is officially endorsed by Ministry of Education and all participants will obtain curriculum marks. In 2018 alone, Asian Science and Mathematics Olympiad has received 70,000 entries from across the ASEAN countries. We are targeting for the number to increase at 80,000 for 2019.
We are also proud to present that ASMO International is a new effort by ASMO Malaysia which started in 2017 in Pattaya, Thailand. When it was initially launched, the competition was setup via collaboration with ASMOPSS and ASMO Thai was the host for the competition. In 2018, Malaysia has become the host for the competition and it was participated by 10 Asian countries.
The idea of opening up a new competition platform which is ASMO International is to expand the level of competition and to provide more opportunities for primary and secondary school students to experience international engagement. (sc : http://asmo2u.com/about-us)
Berikut ini problems and solution ASMO 2019 grade 7
1. Jessica walks from location A to location B in seven days, and back in six days. Each day, she walks one kilometer more than on the preceding day. Determine the distance between the location A and location B.
2. Winson thought of a whole number and then multiplied it by either 5 or 6. Erica added 5 or 6 to Winson’s answer. Finally Rachael subtracted either 5 or 6 from Erica’s answer. The final result was 73. Determine the number Winson thought.
3. Determine the largest integer \(x\) such that \(x^{6021}< 2007^{2007}\) .
4. Let \(x\) and \(y\) be two positive prime integers such that \(\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{y}=\frac{192}{2005^2 – 2004^2}\). Determine the value of \(y\) where \(y > x\).
5. In a certain triangle, the size of each of the angles is a whole number of degrees. Also, one angle is 60Β° larger than the average of the other two angles. Determine the largest possible size of an angle in this triangle.
6. Find the sum
\(\frac{2019}{1Γ2}+\frac{2019}{2Γ3}+…+\frac{2019}{2018Γ2019}\)
7. Ada thinks of a number. She adds 2 to it to get a second number. She then adds 3 to the second number to get a third number, adds 4 to the third to get a fourth, and finally adds 5 to the fourth to get a fifth number. Alan also thinks of a number but he subtracts 3 to get a second. He then subtracts 4 from the second to get a third, and so on until he too has five numbers. Finally, they discover that the sum of Adaβs five numbers is the same as the sum of Alanβs five numbers. Determine the difference between the two numbers of which they first thought.
8. The figure shows part of a tiling, which extends indefinitely in every direction across the whole plane. Each tile is a regular hexagon. Some of the tiles are white, the others are black. Determine the fraction that the plane is white.
9. In the following sum, O represent the digit 0. A, B, X and Y each represents distinct digit. Determine there are how many possible digits can A be.
10. The tens digit of a two-digit number is three more than the units digit. When this two- digit number is divided by the sum of its digits, the answer is 7 remainder 3. Determine the sum of the digits of the two-digit number.
11. Richard has four cubes all the same size: one blue, one red, one white and one yellow. He wants to glue the four cubes together to make the solid shape as shown in the figure below.
Determine the number of differently-coloured shapes can Richard make. [Two shapes are considered to be the same if one can be picked up and turned around so that it looks identical to the other.]
12. Determine the sum of all corner angles of a 5-pointed star: \(a+b+c+d+e.\)
13. A 3-digit integer is called a βV-numberβ if the digits go βhigh-low-highβ β that is, if the tens digit is smaller than both the hundreds digit and the units (or βonesβ) digit. Determine the number of 3-digit βV-numbersβ that can be formed.
14. Oscar wants to put the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 into the circles so that the products of the three numbers along each edge are the same, and as large as possible. Determine the product of the three numbers.
15. A two-digit number βmnβ is multiplied by its reverse βnmβ. The ones (units) and tens digits of the four-digit answer are both 0. Determine the value of the smallest such two-digit number βmnβ.
16. Simplify \(\frac{2005^2(2004^2-2003)}{(2004^2-1)(2004^3+1)}Γ\frac{2003^2(2004^2+2005)}{2004^3-1}\)
17. Determine the value of \(a+b+c\) if \(a, b\) and \(c\) stand for different digits.
