Question

Two circles intersect at two points $B$ and $C$ . Through $B$ , two line segments $A B D$ and $P B Q$ are drawn to intersect the circles at $A, D$ and $P, Q$ respectively (see Fig.) Prove that $∠ A C P = ∠ Q C D$ .

Solution

For chord $A P$
$∠ P B A = ∠ P C A$ (angle in same segment from common chord)
For chord $D Q$
$∠ D B Q = ∠ D C Q$ (angle in same segment from common chord)
Also,
$∠ P B A = ∠ D B Q$ (opposite angles)
Hence, $∠ P C A = ∠ D C Q = ∠ P B A = ∠ D B Q$
or $∠ A C P = ∠ Q C D$
