Two non-intersecting circles, not lying inside each other, are drawn in the plane. Two lines pass through a point P which lies outside each circle. The first line intersects the first circle at A and A′ and the second circle at B and B′; here A and B are closer to P than A′ and B′, respectively, and P lies on segment AB. Analogously, the second line intersects the first circle at C and C′ and the second circle at D and D′. Prove that the points A, B, C, D are concyclic if and only if the points A′, B′, C′, D′ are concyclic.
