Solution :
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)
∠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)
∠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]
GD×FE = GB×FC
FG×FG = BG×FC [∵GD=FE=FG]
FG2 = BG×FC
Hence, a) would be the correct option.
