Solution

The correct option is B

AB = 2 BC


Let A = 2x°

DAE = EAB = x° …… (AE bisects A)

ABCD is a parallelogram …… (given)

EAB = AED = x° (alternate angles)

ADE is isosceles (base angles are equal to x°)

Therefore, DE = AD ………. (i)

B = 180° - 2x° ……(adjacent angles of a parallelogram)

ABE = EBC = 90°- x° …… (AE bisects A)

ABCD is a parallelogram …… (given)

EAB = AED = 90°- x° (alternate angles)

BCEis isosceles (base angles are equal to x°)

Therefore, CE = CD ………. (ii)

But, AD = CD (opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)

Therefore, AD = BC = DE = CE

But, DE + EC = DC = AB (opposite sides of a parallelogram)

AB = 2 BC

Hence (B)
