Problem Statement

Let ABC ABC be a triangle and the point D D is on the segment BC BC such that AD AD is the interior bisector of A \angle A . We stretch AD AD such that it meets the circumcircle of ΔABC \Delta ABC at M M . We draw a line from D D such that it meets the lines MB,MC MB,MC at P,Q P,Q , respectively (M M is not between B,P B,P and also is not between C,Q C,Q ). Prove that PAQBAC \angle PAQ\geq\angle BAC .
