Correct answer: 31
- Find the triangle region
The line is with intercepts:
- on the -axis:
- on the -axis:
So the triangle is bounded by:
Points strictly inside satisfy
We want points such that:
- is an integer
- is a multiple of , i.e. for some positive integer
- and lies strictly inside the triangle.
- Use the condition is a multiple of
Let where since inside the triangle.
Substitute into the inequality:
For each positive integer , the number of positive integers satisfying this is:
- Count possible values of for each
We need positive integers such that Also must be such that at least is possible:
Now count for to :
So : values
So : values
Strictly less, so : values
So : values
So : values
So : values
So : value
So : value
So : value
So : value
So : value
So : value
So : value
So : value
- Add all counts
Total number of points:
First sum larger terms: Remaining eight 's give:
Thus the required number of points is
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer =
Our derived answer is also , so it agrees.
