    Let A1A2…AnA_{1} A_{2} \ldots A_{n} be a convex polygon. Point PP inside this polygon is chosen so that its projections P1,…,PnP_{1}, \ldots, P_{n} onto lines A1A2,…,AnA1A_{1} A_{2}, \ldots, A_{n} A_{1} respectively lie on the sides of the polygon. Prove that for arbitrary points X1,…,XnX_{1}, \ldots, X_{n} on sides A1A2,…,AnA1A_{1} A_{2}, \ldots, A_{n} A_{1} respectively, max⁡{X1X2P1P2,…,XnX1PnP1}≥1\max \left\{\frac{X_{1} X_{2}}{P_{1} P_{2}}, \ldots, \frac{X_{n} X_{1}}{P_{n} P_{1}}\right\} \geq 1 (Armenia)
