Let Γ be a circle with centre O. Let Λ be another circle passing through O and intersecting Γ at points A and B. A diameter CD of at points A and B. A diameter CD of Γ intersects Λ at a point P different from O. Prove intersects Λ at a point P different from O. Prove that ∠APC = ∠BPD .

Solution
Suppose that A' is a point on Λ such that ∠A'PC = ∠BPD Segments OA' and OB subtends same angle in the respective minor arcs, so OA' = OB This shows that A lies on Γ and hence A' = A ∴∠APC = ∠BPD .
