उत्तर
Let `a/b = c/d = k`
`=>` a = bk and c = dk
L.H.S = `((a - c)b^2)/((b -d)cd)`
= `((bk - dk)b^2)/((b - d)d^2k)`
= `b^2/d^2`
R.H.S = `(a^2 - b^2 - ab)/(c^2 - d^2 - cd)`
= `(b^2k^2 - b^2 - bkb)/(d^2k^2 - d^2 - dkd)`
= `(b^2(k^2 - 1 - k))/(d^2(k^2 - 1 - k))`
= `b^2/d^2`
`=>` L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence proved.
