There are 13 weights. It is known that any 12 of them could be placed in 2 scale cups with 6 weights in each cup in such a way that balance will be held.
Prove the mass of all the weights is the same, if it is known that:
a) the mass of each weight in grams is an integer;
b) the mass of each weight in grams is a rational number;
c) the mass of each weight could be any real (not negative) number.
How many rational terms are contained in the expansion of
a) \((\sqrt 2 + \sqrt[4]{3})^{100}\);
b) \((\sqrt 2 + \sqrt[3]{3})^{300}\)?
