Problem Statement

Let A,B,CA, B,C be colinear points in this order, ω\omega an arbitrary circle passing through BB and CC, and ll an arbitrary line different from BCBC, passing through A and intersecting ω\omega at MM and NN. The bisectors of the angles CMB\angle CMB and CNB\angle CNB intersect BCBC at PP and QQ. Prove that APAQ=ABACAP\cdot AQ = AB \cdot AC.
