# Problem A. 630. (December 2014)

A. 630. The konvex quadrilateral $\displaystyle ABCD$ has an inscribed circle with center $\displaystyle I$. The rays $\displaystyle AB$ and $\displaystyle DC$ meet at point $\displaystyle F$, the rays $\displaystyle AD$ and $\displaystyle BC$ meet at point $\displaystyle G$. Let $\displaystyle \mathcal{E}$ be the ellipse with foci $\displaystyle F$ and $\displaystyle G$ that passes through points $\displaystyle B$ and $\displaystyle D$, and let $\displaystyle \mathcal{H}$ be the hyperbola branch with foci $\displaystyle F$ and $\displaystyle G$ that passes through points $\displaystyle A$ and $\displaystyle C$. Denote by $\displaystyle P$ and $\displaystyle Q$ the intersections of $\displaystyle \mathcal{E}$ and $\displaystyle \mathcal{H}$. Show that the points $\displaystyle P$, $\displaystyle Q$ and $\displaystyle I$ are collinear.
