==Problem 1

\text {In} triangle ABC with $CA=CB$ , \text{point E lies on the circumcircle of} \text{triangle ABC such that} $\angle ECB=90^\circ$ . \text{The line through E parallel to CB intersect CA in F} \text{and AB in G}.\text{Prove that}\\ \text{the centre of the circumcircle of} triangle EGB \text{lies on the circumcircle of triangle ECF.}

Observe: $\angle CAB=\angle CBA=\angle EGA$ $\angle ECB=\angle CEG=\angle EAB= 90^\circ$ Notice that $\angle CBA = \angle FGA$ because $CB \parallel EG$ $\Longrightarrow \angle FAG =\angle FGA \Longrightarrow FA= FG$ . Here F is the circumcentre of $\triangle EAG$ because $F$ lies on the Perpendicular bisector of AG $\Longrightarrow F$ is the midpoint of $EG \Longrightarrow FP$ is the perpendicular bisector of $EG$ . This gives $\angle EFP =90^\circ$ And because $\angle EFP+\angle ECP=180^\circ$ Points E, F, P, C are concyclic. Hence proven that the centre of the circumcircle of $\triangle EGB$ lies on the circumcircle of $\triangle ECF$ .

Problem 3

Let p be an odd prime number and $a,b,c$ be integers so that the integers $a^{2023}+b^{2023}, b^{2024}+c^{2024}, c^{2025}+a^{2025}$ are all divisible by p. Prove that p divides each of $a,b,c$ .
