Given a circle $C$ and a diameter $AB$ in it, mark a point $P$ on $AB$ different from the ends. In one of the two arcs determined by $AB$ choose the points $M$ and $N$ such that $\angle APM = 60 ^ \circ = \angle BPN$. The segments $MP$ and $NP$ are drawn to obtain three curvilinear triangles; $APM $, $MPN$ and $NPB$ (the sides of the curvilinear triangle $APM$ are the segments $AP$ and $PM$ and the arc $AM$). In each curvilinear triangle a circle is inscribed, that is, a circle is built tangent to the three sides. Show that the sum of the radii of the three inscribed circles is less than or equal to the radius of $C$.
