1975 AHSME Problem 26
In acute \triangle ABC the bisector of \measuredangle A meets side BC at D. The circle with center B and radius BD intersects side AB at M; and the circle with center C and radius CD intersects side AC at N. Then it is always true that
\begin{array}{l} \textbf{(A)}\ \measuredangle CND+\measuredangle BMD-\measuredangle DAC =120^{\circ} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ AMDN\ \text{is a trapezoid}\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ BC\ \text{is parallel to}\ MN\\ \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ AM-AN=\frac{3(DB-DC)}{2}\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ AB-AC=\frac{3(DB-DC)}{2} \end{array}
