SOLUTION:

ABDK is a cyclic quadrilateral. (As AKB  90 0 , ADB  90 0 on AB.)

Let us construct a circle passes through A. B, D and K.
Let L be the centre of the circle.
As AB is the diameter so L must lies on AB and AL = BL.
CE is angle bisector of ACB  60 0  BCE  ACE  30 0
Now CAD  ACE  30 0  CAO  ACO
 AO  CO (Side opposite to equal angles of a triangle)
In triangle ODC, OCD  300
OC AO AO AO 2 DO 1
So, OD     2 and  , 

   AG   OA    AD 
OA 4 4 4 3 2
so G is mid point of AD
 AG = GD --------(1)
∆GAB and ∆GKD are similar to each other, ( BAG  DKG , ABG  KDG )

 AB  AK  KD  BD ----------(5)
By Using (Ptolemy’s theorem: If there is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, then the
product of the diagonals is equal to the sum of the product of its two pairs of opposite sides.)
AD  BK  AK  BD  AB  KD
 BK 2  AD 2  AK 2  BD 2  AB 2  KD 2  2 AK  BD  AB  KD (As AB  AK  KD  BD )
 BK 2  AD 2  ( AB 2  BK 2 )  BD 2  AB 2  KD 2  2 AB 2  AK 2
 BK 2  AD 2  AB 2  BD 2  BK 2  BD 2  AB 2  KD 2  2 AB 2  AK 2
 BK 2  AD 2  BK 2  BD 2  AB 2  BD 2  AB 2  KD 2  2 AB 2  AK 2
 BK 2  ( AD 2  BD 2 )  AB 2  BD 2  AB 2  KD 2  2 AB 2  AK 2
 BK 2  AB 2  AB 2  BD 2  AB 2  KD 2  2 AB 2  AK 2
 BK 2  BD 2  KD 2  2AK 2 (Proved)
