IMO 1961 Problem 4

  • Day 2

Consider triangle P1P2P3P_1P_2P_3 and a point pp within the triangle. Lines P1P,P2P,P3PP_1P, P_2P, P_3P intersect the opposite sides in points Q1,Q2,Q3Q_1, Q_2, Q_3 respectively. Prove that, of the numbers P1PPQ1,P2PPQ2,P3PPQ3\dfrac{P_1P}{PQ_1}, \dfrac{P_2P}{PQ_2}, \dfrac{P_3P}{PQ_3} at least one is ≤2\leq 2 and at least one is ≥2\geq 2
