Given a non-isoceles triangle $ABC$ inscribes a circle $(O,R)$ (center $O$, radius $R$). Consider a varying line $l$ such that $l\perp OA$ and $l$ always intersects the rays $AB,AC$ and these intersectional points are called $M,N$. Suppose that the lines $BN$ and $CM$ intersect, and if the intersectional point is called $K$ then the lines $AK$ and $BC$ intersect.
$1$, Assume that $P$ is the intersectional point of $AK$ and $BC$. Show that the circumcircle of the triangle $MNP$ is always through a fixed point.
