Detailed Solution

It is given that, DEFG is a square and ∠BAC=90°.
Question ImageWe can write that,
In ΔAFG and ΔDB
∠GAF=∠BDG
∠AGF=∠DBG (corresponding angles because GF|| BC and AB are the transversal )
ΔAFG≈ΔDBG (by AA Similarity Criterion)
In ΔAGF&ΔEFC
∠AFG=∠CEF
∠AFG=∠ECF (corresponding angles because GF|| BC and AC is the transversal)
ΔAFG≈ΔEFC (by AA similarity criterion)
The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.
Hence, we can write that,
BDEF=DGEC BDDE=DEEC DE2=BD×EC Therefore, the given statement is true i.e., DE2=BD×EC.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
