A point $C$ lies on a line segment $AB$ between $A$ and $B$ and circles are drawn having $AC$ and $CB$ as diameters. A common tangent to both circles touches the circle with $AC$ as diameter at $P \ne C$ and the circle with $CB$ as diameter at $Q \ne C$.
Prove that $AP, BQ$ and the common tangent to both circles at $C$ all meet at a single point which lies on the circumference of the circle with $AB$ as diameter.

Let \( ABC \) be a triangle with \( AB \leq AC \) and \( \angle BAC = 60^\circ \).
A point \( X \) inside triangle \( ABC \) satisfies the following conditions:
\[
XA^2 + BC^2 \leq XC^2 + AB^2 \leq XB^2 + AC^2.
\]Find the maximum value of \( m \) such that
\[
\frac{XA}{AC} \geq m.
