Problem

Let $D$ be an interior point of the acute triangle $ABC$ with $AB > AC$ so that $\angle DAB= \angle CAD$. The point $E$ on the segment $AC$ satisfies $\angle ADE= \angle BCD$, the point $F$ on the segment $AB$ satisfies $\angle FDA= \angle DBC$, and the point $X$ on the line $AC$ satisfies $CX=BX$. Let $O_1$ and $O_2$ be the circumcentres of the triangles $ADC$ and $EXD$ respectively. Prove that the lines $BC$, $EF$, and $O_1 O_2$ are concurrent.

Solution

Lemma

Let $AK$ be bisector of the triangle $ABC$, point $D$ lies on $AK.$ The point $E$ on the segment $AC$ satisfies $\angle ADE= \angle BCD$. The point $E'$ is symmetric to $E$ with respect to $AK.$ The point $L$ on the segment $AK$ satisfies $E'L||BC.$ Then $EL$ and $BC$ are antiparallel with respect to the sides of an angle $A$ and \[\frac {AL}{DL} = \frac {AK \cdot DK}{BK \cdot KC}.\]
