Solution


Given, ∠ACD=∠ACB.......(1)Here we can see that NAD=ABD[Angle in the alternate segment]

Similarly , MAB=ADB

Also AB is common arc and ADB and ACB are the angle in the same segment

so ∠ADB=∠ACB

Similarly ∠ABD=∠ACD

But using equation 1 we can say that 1=2

So ∠NAD=∠ADB
[Alternate interior angle]

So MNBD
