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.
