Correct Answer: AB2 + CD2 = BC+ AD2


Solution : According to the question,

Using Pythagoras theorem,
In $\triangle$ABC 
AB2 = AC2 + BC2 ...........................................(i)
In $\triangle$ACD
AD2 = AC2 + CD2
AC2 = AD2 – CD2 ...........................................(ii)
Put the value of AC2 in equation (i)
AB2 = AD2 – CD2 + BC2
AB2 + CD2 = AD2 + BC2
Hence, the correct answer is AB2 + CD2 = BC+ AD2.
