Q3:
let P(x)=xf(x)-2,the degree of P(x) is 2013, it has roots x=1,2,...2013.
hence, P(X)=xf(x)-2=a(x-1)(x-2)...(x-2013),letting x=0,a=2/2013!, xf(x)=a(x-1)(x-2)...(x-2013)+2,so 2014f(2014)=2+2=4

Question 3 similar to a last year junior question.

Sorry for the necro, but the answer for question 16 is indeed 10. The solution book itself does imply that the answer is 10, and the "19" is just an erratum.
