Solution

The correct options are
B $A E^{2} + B D^{2} = A B^{2} + D E^{2}$
C $A E^{2} - D E^{2} = A B^{2} - B D^{2}$

In $Δ A E C$ ,
$A E^{2} = C E^{2} + A C^{2} - - (1)$

In $Δ B D C$ ,
$B D^{2} = C D^{2} + B C^{2} - - (2)$

Adding (1) and (2), we get
$A E^{2} + B D^{2}$
$= C E^{2} + C D^{2} + A C^{2} + B C^{2}$
But, in $Δ C D E$ ,
$D E^{2} = C D^{2} + C E^{2}$
And, in $Δ A B C$ ,
$A B^{2} = A C^{2} + B C^{2}$

$∴ A E^{2} + B D^{2} = A B^{2} + D E^{2}$
and, $A E^{2} - D E^{2} = A B^{2} - B D^{2}$ (By rearranging terms)
