Let ΔABC\Delta ABC be an acute triangle. D,E,FD,E,F are the touch points of incircle with BC,CA,ABBC,CA,AB respectively. AD,BE,CFAD,BE,CF intersect incircle at K,L,MK,L,M respectively. If,σ=AKKD+BLLE+CMMF\sigma = \frac{AK}{KD} + \frac{BL}{LE} + \frac{CM}{MF} τ=AKKD.BLLE.CMMF\tau = \frac{AK}{KD}.\frac{BL}{LE}.\frac{CM}{MF} Then prove that τ=R16r\tau = \frac{R}{16r}. Also prove that there exists integers u,v,wu,v,w such that, uvw0uvw \neq 0, uσ+vτ+w=0u\sigma + v\tau +w=0.

For a natural number k>1k>1, define SkS_k to be the set of all triplets (n,a,b)(n,a,b) of natural numbers, with nn odd and gcd(a,b)=1\gcd (a,b)=1, such that a+b=ka+b=k and nn divides an+bna^n+b^n. Find all values of kk for which SkS_k is finite.

Let ABCABC be a triangle and AD,BE,CFAD,BE,CF be cevians concurrent at a point PP. Suppose each of the quadrilaterals PDCE,PEAFPDCE,PEAF and PFBDPFBD has both circumcircle and incircle. Prove that ABCABC is equilateral and PP coincides with the center of the triangle.
