1. (USA TSTST 2012) In scalene triangle ABC let feet of the perpendicular
from A to BC , B to CA , C to AB be A1 , B1 , C1 respectively. Denote by
A2 the intersection of line BC and B1 C1 . Define B2 , C2 analogously. Let
DEF be the respective midpoints of sides BC, CA, AB. Show that the
perpendicular from D to AA2 , E to BB2 and F to CC2 are concurrent.
2. Two circles Ω1 and Ω2 touch internally the circle Ω in M and N and
the center of Ω2 is on Ω1 . The common chord of the circles Ω1 and Ω2
intersects Ω in A and B. M A and M B intersects Ω1 in C and D. Prove
that Ω2 is tangent to CD.
3. It is known that ∠BAC is the smallest angle in the triangle ABC. The
points B and C divide the circumcircle of the triangle into two arcs. Let
U be an interior point of the arc between B and C which does not contain
A. The perpendicular bisectors of AB and AC meet the line AU at V
and W , respectively. The lines BV and CW meet at T .
Show that AU = T B + T C.
4. Let P be a point inside a triangle ABC such that
∠AP B − ∠ACB = ∠AP C − ∠ABC.

Let D, E be the incenters of triangles AP B, AP C, respectively. Show
that the lines AP , BD, CE meet at a point.
5. (ISL 1998) Let I be the incenter of triangle ABC Let K, L and M be the
points of tangency of incircle of triangle ABC with sides AB, BC, and
CA respectively. The line l passes through B and is parallel to KL . The
lines M Kand M L intersect l at the points R and S respectively. Prove
that ∠RIS is acute.
6. Let A, B, C, D be four points in the plane, with C and D on the same side
of the line AB, such that AC ·BD = AD ·BC and ∠ADB = 90◦ +∠ACB.
Find the ratio
AB · CD
,
AC · BD
and prove that the circumcircles of the triangles ACD and BCD are
orthogonal. (Intersecting circles are said to be orthogonal if at either
common point their tangents are perpendicuar. Thus, proving that the
circumcircles of the triangles ACD and BCD are orthogonal is equivalent
to proving that the tangents to the circumcircles of the triangles ACD
and BCD at the point C are perpendicular.)

7. Let (O) denote a circle with a chord AB, and let W be the midpoint of
the minor arcAB. Let C stand for an arbitrary point on the major arc
AB. The tangent to the circle (O) at C meets the tangents at A and B
at points X and Y , respectively. The lines W X and W Y meet AB at
points N and M , respectively. Does the length of segment N M depend
on position of C ?

8. Consider a circle with center O and radius OA. Let P be a variable point
on the circle and C be a point on radius AO. Join P and C. Q is the a
point on the circle such that P and Q are on the same side of line OA
and ∠P CO = ∠QCA. Find the locus of the point of the intersection of
the lines P Q and OA (Karnataka Goa RMO 2006)

9. (Chinese TST 2002) Let ABCD be a convex quadrilateral for which we
label the intersections E = AB ∩ CD , F = AD ∩ BC, P = AC ∩ BD .
Let O the foot of the perpendicular from P to the line EF . Prove that
∠BOC = ∠AOD.

10. (APMO 2013/5). Let ABCD be a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle ω,


and let P be a point on the extension of AC such that P B and P D are
tangent to ω. The tangent at C intersects P D at Q and the line AD at
R. Let E be the second point of intersection between AQ and ω. Prove
that B, E, R are collinear.

11. Let ABC be a triangle and M, N the feet of the angle bisectors of B, C,
respectively. Let D be the intersection of the ray M N with the circum-
1 1 1
circle of ABC. Prove that BD = AD + CD .

12. Given a cyclic convex quadrilateral ABCD, let F be the intersection of


AC and BD, and E the intersection of AD and BC. Let M, N be the

MN 1 AB CD
midpoints of AB, CD. Prove that EF = 2 | CD − AB |.

13. O1 , O2 , and O3 are the centers of three circles K1 , K2 , and K3 which


pass through a common point P . Their second points of intersection are
K1 ∩ K2 = A,K2 ∩ K3 = B and K1 ∩ K3 = C. From an arbitrary point X
on K1 , XA is extended to meet K2 at Y , and XC to meet K3 at Z. For
all choices of X on K1 . prove that
(i) Y, B, and Z are collinear, and that
(ii) the area of 4XY Z is never more than four times the triangle of centers
O1 O2 O3 .

ABC meet the opposite sides at D, E, F, respectively. The line through
D parallel to EF meets the lines AC and AB at Q and R, respectively.
The line EF meets BC at P. Prove that the circumcircle of the triangle
P QR passes through the midpoint of BC.
