Solution

Given
(a + b +c + d) (a -b- c+ d) =(a + b - c - d) (a -b+c- d)

(a+b+c+d)(a+bcd) =(a+bcd)(abc+d)

Applying componendo and dividendo,

we get

=>2(a+b)2(c+d) = 2(ab)2(cd)

=>(a+b)(c+d) = (ab)(cd)

=>(a+b)(ab) = (c+d)cd

applying componendo and dividendo

=>a+b+aba+ba+b = c+d+cdc+dc+d

=>2a2b =2c2d

=>ab = cd

Hence prove
a:b = c:d
