Answer

By Formula,

By pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2.

In right-angled triangle ABC,

⇒ AB2 = AC2 + BC2 ……..(1)

In right-angled triangle DEC,

⇒ DE2 = CD2 + EC2 ……..(2)

In right-angled triangle AEC,

⇒ AE2 = AC2 + EC2 ……..(3)

In right-angled triangle BDC,

⇒ BD2 = CD2 + BC2 ……..(4)

Adding equations (3) and (4), we get :

⇒ AE2 + BD2 = AC2 + EC2 + CD2 + BC2

= (AC2 + BC2) + (CD2 + EC2)

= AB2 + DE2 [From equations (1) and (2)].

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
