Where Do They Intersect?

Geometry Level 3

Let Γ 1 \Gamma_1 and Γ 2 \Gamma_2 be two concentric circles, and let the radius of Γ 1 \Gamma_1 be greater than that of Γ 2 . \Gamma_2. Consider two non-parallel lines 1 \ell_1 and 2 \ell_2 passing through Γ 2 . \Gamma_2. One of the intersections of 1 \ell_1 and Γ 2 \Gamma_2 is P ; P; one of the intersections of 2 \ell_2 and Γ 2 \Gamma_2 is Q . Q. Let R R be one of the intersections of 1 \ell_1 and Γ 1 , \Gamma_1, and let S S be the second intersection point of Γ 1 \Gamma_1 and the circumcircle of P Q R . \triangle PQR. Suppose S S lies on 2 . \ell_2. Lines 1 \ell_1 and 2 \ell_2 meet at X . X. Suppose X P = X Q . XP= XQ. Where does X X lie?

I did not include a picture because I'm afraid that even an inaccurate diagram might give the answer away.

Outside Γ 1 \Gamma_1 At the circumference of Γ 1 \Gamma_1 At the center of Γ 1 \Gamma_1 In the interior of Γ 1 \Gamma_1
