Solution

Tow circles intersect at A and B The tangent at B to one circle meets the second again at D, A straight line through A meets the first circle at P and the second at Q.
Let O be the center of a circle and BP & DQ be two chords.
Let BD be the diameter bisecting BP and DQ at L and M respectively.
So, OLBP=BLO=90
Similarly DMO=90°BLO=DMO
But these are alternate angles, hence BP||DQ
