Solution
The correct option is C(x+y)(x−y) TheΔABChas∠B=90o.∴ABCisarightΔwithACashypotenuse.∵allthethreequadrilateralsaresquares,∴wehaveAC2=ar.ADEC=x2,AB2=ar.ABIH=y2,BC2=ar.A=ar.BCGF.ApplyingPythagorasTheorem,wegetBC2=AC2−AB2=x2−y2(x+y)(x−y)=ar.BCGF.Thisisapositivequantitysincex2>y2.Ans−ar.BCGF=(x+y)(x−y).
