    Let BC1 = BH = BA1 = p, AC1 = AH = AB1 = q and CA1 = CH = CB1 = u where I have used my proof of Problem 1456

    Then r1/r4 = q/p, r3/r6 =u/q and r5/r2 = p/u

    Multiplying, we get r1.r3.r5 = r2.r4.r6

    Note that triangles AHB1 and BA1H are isosceles and similar ( case AA)
    So ratio of inradius of similar triangles = ratio of altitudes => r1/r4= AHb/BHa
    So r1/r4 x r3/r6 x r5/r2= 1 Per Ceva’s theorem
