Two circles C1 and C2 intersect at two d...

Two circles `C_1` and `C_2` intersect at two distinct points `P`and`Q` in a line passing through `P` meets circles `C_1`and`C_2` at `A`and`B` , respectively. Let `Y` be the midpoint of `A B` and `Q Y` meets circles `C_1` and`C_2` at `X`a n d`Z` respectively. Then prove that `Y` is the midpoint of `X Z`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From the figure, `YP.YB=YZ.YQ`
and `YA.YP=YX.YQ`
But `YA=YB`
Hence, `XY=YZ`
So, Y is midpoint of XZ.
