Question
Two circles intersect at P and Q. Through P diameters PA and PB of the two circles are drawn. Show that the points A, Q and B are collinear.
Solution
Let O and O' be the centres of two intersecting circle, where
Points of intersection are P and Q and PA and PB are their diameter respectively.
Join PQ, AQ and QB.
∴ ∠AQP = 90° and ∠BQP = 90°
(Angle in a semicircle is a right angle)
Adding both these angles,
∠AQP + ∠BQP = 180°
∠AQB = 180°
Hence, the points A, Q and B are collinear.
