[b]Problem 4[/b] : 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 line to both circles touches the circle with $AC$ as diameter at $P \neq C$ and the circle with $CB$ as diameter at $Q \neq C.$ Prove that lines $AP, BQ$ and the common tangent line to both circles at $C$ all meet at a single point which lies on the circle with $AB$ as diameter.

[b]Problem 3[/b] : Let $x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_{2022}$ be non-negative real numbers such that $$x_k + x_{k+1}+x_{k+2} \leq 2$$ for all $k = 1,2,\cdots,2020$. Prove that $$\sum_{k=1}^{2020}x_kx_{k+2}\leq 1010$$
