Section 1

Let $a,b,c$ be positive real numbers such that $a+b+c=1$ . Prove that $\frac {a}{b} + \frac {a}{c} + \frac {c}{b} + \frac {c}{a} + \frac {b}{c} + \frac {b}{a} + 6 \geq 2\sqrt{2}\left (\sqrt{\frac{1-a}{a}} + \sqrt{\frac{1-b}{b}} + \sqrt{\frac{1-c}{c}}\right ).$ When does equality hold?

Section 2

Let the circles $k_1$ and $k_2$ intersect at two points $A$ and $B$ , and let $t$ be a common tangent of $k_1$ and $k_2$ that touches $k_1$ and $k_2$ at $M$ and $N$ respectively. If $t\perp AM$ and $MN=2AM$ , evaluate the angle $NMB$ .
