    Let ABC be an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC and \[BD\bot AC.\]Then, \[B{{D}^{2}}-C{{D}^{2}}\]is equal to   

    A)  \[2DC\cdot AD\]

    B)  \[2AD\cdot BC\]

    C)  \[3DC\cdot AD\]

    D)  \[\frac{1}{2}AD\cdot DC\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    As ADB is a right angled triangle. So,       \[A{{B}^{2}}=A{{D}^{2}}+B{{D}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[A{{C}^{2}}=A{{D}^{2}}+B{{D}^{2}}\]   \[(\because AB=AC)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{(AD+DC)}^{2}}=A{{D}^{2}}+B{{D}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[A{{D}^{2}}+D{{C}^{2}}+2AD\cdot DC=A{{D}^{2}}+B{{D}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]                  \[B{{D}^{2}}-C{{D}^{2}}=2CD\cdot AD\]
