Correct Answer: 90°
Solution : Given: In $\triangle$ABC, AD$\perp$BC and AD 2 = BD × DC. Applying Pythagoras theorem in $\triangle$ADB and $\triangle$ADC, AB 2 = AD 2 + BD 2 ____(i) AC 2 = AD 2 + DC 2 ____(ii) Adding equation (i) and (ii), AB 2 + AC 2 = AD 2 + BD 2 + AD 2 + DC 2 AB 2 + AC 2 = 2AD 2 + BD 2 + DC 2 AB 2 + AC 2 = 2 BD × DC + BD 2 + DC 2 AB 2 + AC 2 = (BD + DC) 2 AB 2 + AC 2 = BC 2 $\triangle$ABC is a right-angled triangle. $\angle$BAC = 90° Hence, the correct answer is 90°.
