(a) The figure given below shows two circles with centres A, B and a transverse common tangent to these circles meet the straight line AB in C. Prove that:
AP : BQ = PC : CQ.
(b) In the figure (ii) given below, PQ is a tangent to the circle with centre O and AB is a diameter of the circle. If QA is parallel to PO, prove that PB is tangent to the circle.
