    In the given figure, \[\angle BAC=90{}^\circ \] and \[AD\bot BC,\] then:

    A) \[BD\times CD=B{{C}^{2}}\]

    B) \[AB\times AC=B{{C}^{2}}\]

    C) \[BD\times CD=A{{D}^{2}}\]

    D) \[AB\times AC=A{{D}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] In \[\Delta ABC\] and \[\Delta DBA\]
    \[\angle BAC=\angle BDA\]           (Each \[90{}^\circ \])
    \[\angle ABC=\angle DBA\]   (Common)
    \[\therefore \,\,\Delta ABC\tilde{\ }\Delta DBA\]
    (By AA similarity criterion) ...(1)
    Similarly, \[\Delta ABC\tilde{\ }\Delta DAC\]
      (By AA similarity criterion) ..,(2)
    From (1) and (2), we have \[\Delta DBA\tilde{\ }\Delta DAC\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{BD}{AD}=\frac{AD}{CD}\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,A{{D}^{2}}=BD\times CD\]
