Problem Statement

Let Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2 be two circles that tangents each other at point NN, with Γ2\Gamma_2 located inside Γ1\Gamma_1. Let A,B,CA, B, C be distinct points on Γ1\Gamma_1 such that ABAB and ACAC tangents Γ2\Gamma_2 at DD and EE, respectively. Line NDND cuts Γ1\Gamma_1 again at KK, and line CKCK intersects line DEDE at II. (i) Prove that CKCK is the angle bisector of ACB\angle ACB. (ii) Prove that IECNIECN and IBDNIBDN are cyclic quadrilaterals.
