Correct option is (A) ∠A = ∠B

Given that \(AD\bot BC\) \(and\;\angle A=90^\circ\)

In triangle ABC, we have

\(\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^\circ\)      (Sum of angles in a triangle)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle B+\angle C=180^\circ-\angle A\)

\(=180^\circ-90^\circ=90^\circ\)

\(\because\) \(\angle C\neq0^\circ\)       \((\because\,If\,\angle C=0^\circ\,then\,A,B\;\&\;C\) do not form a triangle)

i.e.\(\angle C>0^\circ\)

\(\therefore\) \(\angle B<90^\circ\)     \((\because\angle B+\angle C=90^\circ\;\&\;\angle C=0^\circ)\)

\(\therefore\) \(\angle B<\angle A\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle B\neq\angle A\)

Hence, option (A) is incorrect.

Now in triangles \(\triangle ABC\;\&\;\triangle DBA,\)

\(\angle ABC=\angle DBA\)       (Common angles)

\(\angle BAC=\angle BDA=90^\circ\)

\(\therefore\) \(\triangle ABC\sim\triangle DBA\)    ______________(1)   (By AA similarity rule)

Now in triangles \(\triangle ABC\;and\;\triangle DAC,\)

\(\angle ACB=\angle DCA\)       (Common angles)

\(\angle BAC=\angle ADC=90^\circ\)

\(\therefore\) \(\triangle ABC\sim\triangle DAC\)   ______________(2)   (By AA similarity rule)

From (1) & (2), we have

\(\triangle ABC\sim\triangle DBA\) \(and\;\triangle ABC\sim\triangle DAC\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\triangle DBA\sim\triangle ABC\sim\triangle DAC\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\triangle DBA\sim\triangle DAC\)

Hence, options (B), (C) & (D) are correct.
