This problem contains contradictory information, which makes it impossible to solve as stated.

Here's why:

  1. The problem states "AC is the diameter of the circle with centre O". A fundamental theorem in geometry states that the angle subtended by a diameter at any point on the circumference is a right angle. Therefore, ∠ABC\angle ABC must be 90∘90^\circ.
  2. The problem also states "AC=BC=2qAC = BC = 2q and AB=qAB = q". The handwritten notes on the diagram interpret 2q=82q=8 and q=4q=4, leading to AC=8AC=8, BC=8BC=8, and AB=4AB=4.
  3. If △ABC\triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle at B (due to AC
