उत्तर
Since AD is the bisector of BC.
∴ BD = CD
Now, in △ABD and △ACD, we have
AD = DA ...[Common]
∠ADB = ∠ADC ...[Each 90°]
BD = CD ...[Proved above]
∴ △ABD ≌ △ACD ...[By SAS congruence]
⇒ AB = AC ...[By Corresponding parts of congruent triangles]
Thus, △ABC is an isosceles triangle.

ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and D is a point on BC such that AD ⊥ BC (Figure). To prove that ∠BAD = ∠CAD, a student proceeded as follows:
In ∆ABD and ∆ACD,
AB = AC (Given)
∠B = ∠C (Because AB = AC)
and ∠ADB = ∠ADC
Therefore, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD (AAS)
So, ∠BAD = ∠CAD (CPCT)
What is the defect in the above arguments?
[Hint: Recall how ∠B = ∠C is proved when AB = AC].
