The curve for which the normal at any point (x, y) and the line joining the origin to that point form an isosceles triangle with the x-axis as the base is
Let $z = e^{i\theta}$,
then $a = 1 + e^{i\theta} + e^{2i\theta} = \dfrac{\sin(3\theta/2)}{\sin(\theta/2)} e^{i\theta}$.
After simplification, the value $\dfrac{1}{3}$ is not possible.

Let $K$ be the set of all odd numbers less than $200$ and $M$ be the set of products of two distinct numbers taken from $K$, then find the total number which is divisible by $5$ in $M$.
Let numbers be $a, b$.
Then $\dfrac{x}{y} = \dfrac{\sqrt{ab}}{\dfrac{2ab}{a+b}} = \dfrac{a+b}{2\sqrt{ab}} = \dfrac{5}{4}$.
Let $\dfrac{a}{b} = r$,
then $\dfrac{r+1}{2\sqrt{r}} = \dfrac{5}{4}$.
On solving, $r = 4$ or $\dfrac{1}{4}$.
Hence ratio = $1:4$.

Sum of squares of odd positive integers $1$ to $100$ belongs to
Sum of squares of first $n$ odd numbers $= \dfrac{n(2n-1)(2n+1)}{3}$.
For $n = 50$, sum $= \dfrac{50 \times 99 \times 101}{3} = 166650$.
Hence, it lies between $150000$ and $250000$.

The number of values of $C$ such that the straight line $y = 4x + C$ touches the curve $x^2 + 4y^2 = 4$ is
Substitute $y = 4x + C$ in $x^2 + 4y^2 = 4$.
To touch, discriminant $= 0$.
After solving, $C = \pm \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{17}}$.
Hence, there are $2$ possible values.
