(i) In ΔAPC and DPB,
∠APC = ∠DPB [Vertically Opposite Angles]
∠CAP = ∠BDP [Angles in the some segment]
ΔAPC ∼ Δ DPB [ AA similarity]
(ii) We have already proved that ΔAPC ∼ ΔDPB.
We know that the corresponding sides of similar triangle are proportional.
So, AP/DP = PC/PB = CA/BD ⇒ AP/DP = PC/PC ⇒ AP. PB = PC . DP
