Problem Statement

Points C1,B1C_1, B_1 on sides AB,ACAB, AC respectively of triangle ABCABC are such that BB1CC1BB_1 \perp CC_1. Point XX lying inside the triangle is such that XBC=B1BA,XCB=C1CA\angle XBC = \angle B_1BA, \angle XCB = \angle C_1CA. Prove that B1XC1=90oA\angle B_1XC_1 =90^o- \angle A.
