b) BG+FC
c) BG/FC
d) None of these


Doubt by Saumya

Solution : 

∠BAC = 90° (Given)
DEFG is a square (Given)

In ΔADE and ΔGBD
∠ADE = ∠GBD (Corresponding Angles)
∠DAE=∠BGD (Each 90
°)
ΔADE ~ ΔGBD (By AA Similarity) — (1)

In ΔADE and ΔFCE
∠AED = ∠FCE(Corresponding Angles)
∠EAD=∠CFE (Each 90
°)
ΔADE ~ ΔFEC (By AA Similarity) — (2)

From equation (1) and (2)

ΔGBD~ΔFEC

GD/FC = GB/FE (By CPST)
GD×FE = GB×FC
FG×FG = 
BG×FC [∵GD=FE=FG]
FG2BG×FC

Hence, a) would be the correct option.
