Expert Answer
Construction: Draw the circle through the three non – collinear points A, B, C.
This is possible, according to the theorem that 'A circle always passes through three non-collinear points'.
If D lies on this circle, then the result follows.
A, B, C and D are concyclic.
If possible, suppose D does not lie on this circle. Then, this circle will intersect CD at D’. Join D'B.
So, AP.PB = CP.PD'
But we are given that AP.PB = CP.PD.
D' coincides with D.
D lies on the circle passing through A, B and C.
Hence, the points A, B, C and D are concyclic.
