In a parallelogram ABCD, |AB|=a, |AD|=b, and |AC|=c, then DB.AB has the value

In a parallelogram ABCD, |AB|=a, |AD|=b, and |AC|=c
c2 = a2 + b2 - 2abcosB ⇒ 2abcosB = -c2 + a2 + b2
DB.AB = (DA + DC).AB = bacosB + a2 = 12(3a2 + b2 - c2)
Hence, option D is incorrect. The correct solution requires using the parallelogram law and the dot product. Let's derive the correct answer.
In parallelogram ABCD, we have:

AB = a
AD = b
AC = c

By the parallelogram law, we have:

AC² = AB² + AD² + 2(AB.AD)
c² = a² + b² + 2(AB.AD)

Also, we have:

DB = AB - AD = a - b

Now, let's compute DB.AB:

DB.AB = (a - b).a = a.a - b.a = a² - b.a

We also have the parallelogram law which relates the diagonals:

2(AB² + AD²) = AC² + BD²
2(a² + b²) = c² + BD²
BD² = 2(a² + b²) - c²

From the cosine rule in triangle ABD:

BD² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(∠BAD)

Since ABCD is a parallelogram, ∠BAD + ∠ABC = 180°. Thus, cos(∠BAD) = -cos(∠ABC).
In triangle ABC, by cosine rule:

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(∠ABC)

Substituting cos(∠BAD) = -cos(∠ABC), we have:

BD² = a² + b² + 2ab cos(∠ABC) = 2(a²+b²) - c²

We need to find DB.AB. Using the fact that DB = 2 AO (where O is the intersection of diagonals) and AB = 2 BO (where O is the intersection of diagonals) we have
DB . AB = 4 AO.BO = 4 |AO| |BO| cos(θ)
However, a simpler approach leverages the property that the diagonals bisect each other. Let's use vector notation:

Let AB = a and AD = b. Then AC = a + b and BD = b - a.

DB . AB = (b - a) . a = b . a - a . a = b . a - a²

From the law of cosines in triangle ABC:

|AC|² = |AB|² + |BC|² - 2|AB||BC|cos(B)
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(B)

Since ABCD is a parallelogram, |BC| = |AD| = b.

2ab cos(B) = a² + b² - c²

Then the scalar product of AB and AD is:

AB . AD = |AB||AD|cos(B) = ab cos(B) = (a² + b² - c²)/2

Now,
DB . AB = (b - a) . a = b . a - a . a = ab cos(B) - a² = (a² + b² - c²)/2 - a² = (b² - a² - c²)/2
Therefore, there must be an error in the options provided or the problem statement.
