ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. The bisectors of its opposite angles A and C intersect the circle circumscribing at the points P and Q respectively.
⇒ ∠A+∠C=180o [ Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary ]
⇒ 21∠A+21∠C=90o
⇒ ∠PAB+∠BCQ=90o
But ∠BCQ=∠BAQ [ Angles in the segment of a circle are equal ]
∴ ∠PAB+∠BAQ=90o
⇒ ∠PAQ=90o
⇒ But ∠PAQ is in semicircle.
∴ PQ is diameter of the circle.
