O is any point inside a rectangle ABCD....

`O` is any point inside a rectangle `ABCD`. then which of the following is correct:

A

`O B^2+O D^2=O A^2+O C^2`

B

`O B^2-O D^2=O A^2+O C^2`

C

`O B^2-O D^2=O A^2-O C^2`

D

None

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
ABCD is a rectangle and O is a point interior the rectangle. Through O, draw a line parallel to BC meeting AB and DC at F and E respectively.
Then EC= FB and DE = AF
L.H.S = `OB^(2)+OD^(2)`
= `(OF^(2) + FB^(2)) + (OE^(2)+DE^(2))`
(by pythagoras theorem)
`OF^(2)+EC^(2)+OE^(2)+AF^(2)`
( EC = FB and DE = AF)
` (OE^(2)+EC^(2))+ (OF^(2)+AF^(2))`
` OC^(2) + OA^(2) `
= R.H.S.
Hence `OB^(2)+OD^(2) = OC^(2) + OA^(2)` Hence proved.
