Two circles X and Y in the plane intersect at two distinct points A and B such that the centre of Y lies on X. Let points C and D be on X and Y respectively, so that C, B and D are collinear. Let point E on Y be such that DE is parallel to AC. Show that AE = AB.

EASIEST OF ALL ...just use the fact that opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add upto $180$ and that angle subtended at center is twice that at circumference

easy angle chasing with cyclic quad. and fact that angle subtended by chord at centre is double the angle subtended by it at circumference proves the question.

correct your question it must be $AB=AE$

my solution = let centre of $Y$ be $O$. than we have $2\angle BEA=\angle BOA=180-\angle BCA=180-\angle EDB=180-\angle EAB=\angle BEA+\angle EBA$ which gives $\angle EBA=\angle BEA\leftrightarrow AB=AE$ so we are done. PS= that was the easiest geometry i have seen in RMO except RMO 2014 P1.
