Hey everyone,

Just wanted to see if there are any other JEE aspirants on this forum currently prepping for it[mention year if you can]

I am actually entering 10th this year and have decided to try for it...So this year is just going to go in me strengthening my math (IOQM level (heard its enough till Mains part, so will start from there) for the problem solving part, and learn some topics from 11th and 12th as well)

It would be great to connect with others who are going through the same thing - share study strategies, tips, resources, discuss, and maybe even form study groups(not sure how to tho :maybe: ) and motivate each other ig?. :D
So yea, cya later

Let ABC be an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and M the midpoint of BC. Consider a point E outside the triangle such that BE = BM and CE perpendicular to AB. The point of intersection of the perpendicular bisector of segment EB with the circumcircle of triangle AMB, which is on the same side as A with respect to BE, is point F. Show that angle FME = 90°

Let A, B, C, and D be four distinct points on a straight line, in that order. The circles with diameters AC and BD intersect at X and Y. The straight line XY intersects BC at Z. Let P be a point on XY distinct from Z. The straight line CP intersects the circle with diameter AC at C and M, and the straight line BP intersects the circle with diameter BD at B and N. Show that AM, DN, and XY are aligned.

Let $CD=3x$ and $CM=5x$. Then, MD=6x. Clearly, by similarity again, we see that $AD=6$.
