Join BC

In \triangle APC\, \, and\, \triangle DPB,

\angle APC\, \, = \angle DPB        ( vertically opposite angle)

\angle CAP\, \, = \angle BDP      (Angles in the same segment)

\triangle APC\, \, \sim \triangle DPB         (By AA)

\frac{AP}{DP}=\frac{PC}{PB}=\frac{CA}{BD}             (Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional)

\Rightarrow \frac{AP}{DP}=\frac{PC}{PB}

\Rightarrow AP.PB=PC.DP
