    311,445 students took the RMO 2013 exam in the Mumbai region of India. The average score was 37.25 with a median of 36 and standard deviation of 23.61. Problem 1 had the second lowest average score of 9.68 due to many students incorrectly using the SSA triangle congruence test. Problem 2 was the easiest with an average score of 10.59. Problem 3 was the most difficult with an average score of only 3.64 as students struggled to enumerate all possible 3-good sets.

    Problems and score distributions


    The following are some comments about each of the problems and their score distributions.

    Problem 1 (Average score:

    9.68)

    Many students used SSA congruence test to show that certain two triangles are congruent. This is as bad a mistake as dividing two sides of an equation by 0. Since this was a basic conceptual mistake, 9 points were deducted if SSA test was used.

    Problem 2 (Average score:

    10.59)

    This was the easiest problem on the paper (according to students performance). Typical mistakes included forgetting some small cases and mentioning only one solution.

    Problem 3 (Average score:

    3.64)

    Trying to enumerate all the 3-good sets (and failing to do so) is not given any credit.

    Problem 4 (Average score:

    4.73)

    There were very few cases of partial credit in this problem. This problem had a wide variety of solutions using various methods ratios of similar triangles, ratios of areas, Menelaus theorem, vectors, coordinate geometry, ...

    Problem 5 (Average score:

    1.49)

    This was the most dicult problem of the paper. Most students made no or very little progress. Many reduced the problem to showing that certain two natural numbers are coprime and this was not given much credit since it is as hard as the original problem itself.

    Problem 6 (Average score:

    7.12)

    Many partial credits were given in this problem since students could prove many statements that would lead to the solution. Nine points of credit is given to the rst part of this problem.
