Ans.

Given : An isosceles Right Triangle ABC. A square CMPN is Inscribed in it .

To Prove : CP bisects the hypotenuse AB. i.e. AP = PB
Proof : CMPN is square.
So, 
CM = MP = PN = NC      [ all sides are equal]

Also Triangle ABC is Isosceles.
So, AC = BC 

=> AN + NC = CM + MB 

=> AN = MB   [as NC = CM]

Now, Consider Traingles ANP and PMB
AN = MB  [Proved Above]

∠ANP  =  ∠ PMB  [Both are 90]

PN = PM    [Sides of square]

So, By SAS  Rule 
Triangle ANP = Triangle PMB 

=> AP = PB         [By CPCT]
Hence Proved
