Solution
A cyclic quadrilateral ABCD whose opposite sides when produced intersect at the [points P and Q]. The bisectors PF and QF of ∠P and ∠Q respectively at F produce QF to meet AB at E In ΔQDGandΔQBE ∠1=∠2 (QF is bisector of \angle DQC) ∠3=∠4 Exterior angles of cyclic quadrilateral = its interior opposite angles ∴∠5=∠6 .........(i) But ∠5=∠7 (Vertically opposite angles) .........(ii) ∴∠6=∠7 (using (i) and (ii)) Now in ΔPGFandΔPEF ∠9=∠8 and∠7=∠6 ∴∠PFG=∠PFE But ∠PFG+∠PFE=180∘ ∴∠PFG=∠PFE=90∘ So ∠PFG=90∘
