Can You Solve The 5 Circles inside the square Problem?

Five circles with the same radius are placed inside a square, whose sides are not known. The radius of the circle is given. The problem is to find the side of the square. Four circles are placed inside the square at the four corners in such a way that the sides of the square are tangents to the circle. The fifth circle is place between the four circles, such that it touches the four circles externally.

Solving a system of in-equations: A problem form High School

In this video, I have solve a system of in-equations, using elementary ideas of high school mathematics. Using the fact that, square of any real number is always greater than equal to zero, we can at the same time frame and solve unique problems. Watch the full video, to learn.








Less calculations, more thought: Problem form Definite Integral

A very interesting problem from, definite integrals. This problem is slightly different form the usual problems of definite integral, as the function given here is not the usual polynomial or trigonometric functions. Watch the full video for the solution and learn something new and different.













Algebra Problem: Can you Solve it?

Using elementary identity from middle school, his problem can be solved. But it's really challenging and tricky if you don't hit the right idea. Check out the video to learn something new and interesting.

You should be able to solve this! Minimum value Problem

A problem of minimisation. Given an expression, for which we have to find the minimum value. A very interesting problem, with simple properties of logarithmic functions to be used. Watch the full video to see the solution and learn something new and different.








A very interesting problem from Indian Statistical Institute: Geometry

This problem, requires some knowledge of a regular polygon. Only the elementary properties is required. If you don't know anything about regular polygons, just google it! Lot of thinking is required to solve this problem. A very good problem where the calculations are minimal but the logical part is required throughout. Check the full video for the solution and share your views about the problem.

Problem form American Invitational Mathematics Examination: Can you solve it?



A very beautiful problem with elegant solution. Suitable for students preparing for IIT and other entrance exams. Even for school students this problem is suited who wants to learn something different. As the problem doesn't require more than knowledge of multiplication of variables and solving simultaneous linear equations, a 10th grade students can also understand it!

Sum of squares of 5 consecutive natural numbers!

Here's a difficult problem of proving that a given expression is not a perfect square. A direct approach will be a nightmare ( even not sure it can be proved) but use of a simple property of perfect squares will ease the problem. We know that any perfect squares leaves a remainder either 1 or 0 when being divided by 3 or 4. This simple result would be used to solve the problem.
